Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, F3YCCF 448 SCMW, has issued a Sources Sought notice titled "Hill Industry Day Quad Charts" to conduct market research for various aircraft parts and systems. This initiative aims to identify potential sources for new buys, repairs, and reverse engineering efforts to address obsolescence and supply chain needs for multiple aircraft platforms (e.g., B-1, B-52, C-5, F-16, T-38, C-130) across Hill, Robins, and Tinker Air Force Bases. Responses are due by January 16, 2027.
Scope of Work
The opportunity seeks information on a broad range of components, as detailed in the "Full Quad Chart Deck" and "Abbreviated Quad Chart Deck" documents. Key areas of interest include:
- Market Research: Identifying procurement sources or manufacturers for items like Hydraulic Filters (B-1), Remote Control Units (C-130), Light Source Control (C-130), Power Radio Divider (AN/FPS-123), High Power Amplifier (AN/FPS-124), and Brakes.
- Source Approval Request (SAR): Required for items such as Miter Gear Bevel (B-1), NLG Outer Cylinder (C-5), NLG Piston Axle (C-5), MLG Strut Piston (C-5), MLG Strut Outer Cylinder (C-5), Aircraft Doors (C-5), Aircraft Floors (C-5), Structural Plates & Panels (C-5), Gear Box (T-38), Idler Gear Spur (T-38), and Gear Cluster (T-38).
- New Buy Efforts: For components like Aircraft Doors (C-5), Aircraft Floors (C-5), Structural Plates & Panels (C-5), Cap Assembly (T-38), Gear Box (T-38), Idler Gear Spur (T-38), Gear Spur (T-38), Gear Cluster (T-38), Servo Control Card, Servo Amplifier, Choke, Drive Assembly, Motor, Data Package, and Gearcase Motor. Many of these are driven by obsolescence.
- Repair Efforts: For items such as NLG Outer Cylinder (C-5), NLG Piston Axle (C-5), MLG Strut Piston (C-5), MLG Strut Outer Cylinder (C-5), Modulator Subassembly, Power Supply Assembly, and Power Supply.
- Reverse Engineering: Specifically for Pilot LH/RH Windshields (B-52) due to supply shortages, Circuit Card Assembly (AN/ALE-24), and Power Management Control (PMC) (F108) due to obsolescence.
