About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking potential contractors capable of providing depot-level testing and repair services for B-52 Combat Network Communications Technology (CONECT) components. The procurement involves repair services for three specific Line Replaceable Units: Processor Group (Crew Workstation), Processor Group (Central Information Management Server), and Display Unit (Multi-Function Color Display). Potential contractors must demonstrate comprehensive capabilities including repairing complex communication technology components, providing engineering support, resolving parts obsolescence issues, and handling classified materials. The evaluation will assess responses across multiple areas including business information, repair capabilities, commerciality, continuity of operations, cybersecurity, and engineering services. Electronic responses to this market research initiative must be submitted by August 1, 2025, to the specified government contacts.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to both large and small businesses, including joint ventures and teaming arrangements. Boeing currently performs these repair services under contract FA8107-19-D-0001, while Honeywell serves as the original manufacturer of the equipment. The government does not currently own the technical data required for organic repairs, which presents a key consideration for potential contractors. The RFI serves as market research for informational planning purposes and does not guarantee future contract opportunities. The Air Force emphasizes that this initiative is designed to identify qualified sources in the marketplace who can support the ongoing sustainment requirements for this critical B-52 communications technology.
