Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force's 408th Supply Chain Management Squadron (SCMS) has issued a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for the repair or replacement of 30 specific electronic modules for the AN/ALQ-161A Electronic Countermeasures System. This RFI is critical due to the loss of incumbent repair support, obsolescence of parts, and proprietary manufacturing data issues, which led to a significant drop in repair success rates and many items being declared Beyond Economical Repair (BER).

Scope of Work

The requirement involves providing repair or replacement solutions for 30 identified electronic modules. The incumbent vendor faced challenges including a lack of manufacturing documentation and component unavailability. The RFI suggests that a complete redesign using modern components might be the most viable long-term solution. An attached spreadsheet details the 30 specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and associated part numbers, along with projected quantities needed for Fiscal Years 2026 through 2030.

Relevance to Bidders

This RFI is highly relevant for vendors with capabilities in repairing or replacing complex electronic modules, particularly those with experience in electronic countermeasures systems. Bidders should review the attached spreadsheet to assess their ability to address the specific NSNs and part numbers. The information gathered will help the Air Force determine industry capabilities for upcoming solicitations.
