Solicitation F15 Part Reman

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base seeks remanufacture of Cartridge Actuated Devices and Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) for F-15 and B-1/B-1B aircraft egress systems, with quotations due July 23, 2026 and Government award by September 30, 2026. This is a sole source procurement with no small business set-aside.

Place of performance is Hill Air Force Base, Utah (7981 Georgia St, Hill AFB, UT 84056). The requirement encompasses remanufacture of five components: F-15 Internal Canopy Jettison Initiator, B-1 Mode Selector, B-1 AND Gates (Type I, II, and III), and B-1 Cabin Decompression Sensor. Offerors must be qualified sources; new sources must submit qualification packages and achieve approval prior to award, including demonstration of compliance with Section J qualification requirements, completion of government-unique testing (estimated $5,000 to $50,000+ per offeror), and a 360-day design control activity timeline. Only U.S. and Canada suppliers are eligible. All contractor personnel must hold clearances as required by security classification.

Critical technical requirements include ISO 9001:2015 quality certification, removal and replacement of all O-rings and age-degraded components, use of energetic materials not exceeding 24 months from original manufacturing date, certification of percussion primers within 24 months, Item Unique Identifier marking per DFARS 211.274 with Data Matrix ECC 200 format, and compliance with MIL-STD-1168 ammunition data card procedures. Lot acceptance testing cannot exceed 400 assemblies plus test assets. Remanufacturable assets will be shipped to the contractor within 90 days of award. Government furnishes Propellant Actuated Initiators (50 units) and PVU 2A Primers, both due within 60 calendar days of award.

NAICS 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing); PSC 1377 (Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices). Evaluation weighs technical qualification status and schedule (rated Outstanding/Good/Acceptable/Marginal/Unacceptable) more heavily than price. The Government reserves the right to award without negotiations and will not delay award pending incomplete qualification steps for otherwise qualified vendors.
