Sources Sought 36th Maintenance Group Frequency Converters Diagnostic and Report

The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces, specifically the 36th Maintenance Group at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, is issuing a Sources Sought notice for diagnostic and reporting services related to frequency converter (FCX) systems. The procurement seeks qualified contractors to perform comprehensive diagnostic evaluations and provide repair or replacement recommendations for frequency converter units located in Hangars 2 and 5. Contractors must employ technicians qualified and authorized to service FCX equipment in accordance with OEM technical guidance, industry standards, DAFMAN 91-203, DAFI 91-202, and all applicable federal, DoD, and Air Force safety, environmental, and occupational health requirements. The five-phase diagnostic evaluation includes initial visual inspection, power supply verification, bus voltage diagnostics, manual mode output testing, and component-level troubleshooting, with deliverables consisting of a consolidated detailed report containing condition overview, root cause analysis, proposed solutions, repair/replacement timeline, and parts analysis with lead times. Responses to this market research notice are due by March 3, 2026, and should be submitted via email to Contract Specialist Maxim Gross (maxim.gross@us.af.mil) and Contracting Officer Elena Gifford (elena.gifford.1@us.af.mil); this is a voluntary sources sought notice only and does not constitute a binding request for proposals.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance) and PSC code J039 (Maint/Repair/Rebuild of Equipment—Materials Handling Equipment). No incumbent contractor or award value range has been disclosed in the sources sought notice. The contractor will be required to provide a formal itemized quotation with two distinct options: Option A detailing full repair costs including components, labor by category, shipping, and total restoration cost, and Option B presenting full replacement costs including new unit acquisition, removal and installation labor, freight, and commissioning. The statement of work specifies that contingency procedures allow cross-testing with secondary converter units if circuit board failure is suspected, with troubleshooting concluding if both primary and secondary units exhibit identical nonfunctional boards. This sources sought notice serves as market research to inform future procurement decisions and generates no obligation for the government to award any contract or reimburse response costs.
