About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is conducting market research through a Request for Information to identify potential contractors capable of providing U-2 Life Support Sustainment and Support services, specifically focused on oxygen-related equipment and associated components for the U-2 aircraft program. The primary scope of work includes depot-level sustainment support, program integration and management tasks, material management functions, and serving as the Contractor-Inventory Control Point (C-ICP) for U-2 Life Support unique components. Key qualifications and requirements for interested contractors include demonstrated repair experience, engineering services capabilities, configuration management expertise, inventory handling proficiency, and technical capabilities specific to the S-1034 Pilot Protective Assemblies, oxygen systems, and survival kits. The government has not specified formal evaluation criteria in this pre-solicitation notice, as this RFI is explicitly for planning and market research purposes only. Responses must be submitted by January 2, 2026, via email to specified contracting personnel, and interested parties should note that this market research does not guarantee participation in future solicitations or contract awards.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is classified under NAICS code 541330 (Engineering Services) and PSC code R425 (Support-Professional: Engineering/Technical). Mission Systems Orchard Park has been identified as the original equipment manufacturer and current sole source for U-2 Life Support oxygen-related equipment. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify an award value or budget range, as no formal solicitation document currently exists and issuance of a solicitation remains contingent upon the results of this market research phase. The government explicitly states it will not be liable for payment of any response preparation expenses and does not intend to compensate contractors for information submitted in response to this RFI. Contractors responding to this market research are advised to clearly mark any proprietary or competition-sensitive information contained in their responses.
