Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for Repair Services for the MUTES Program, specifically for various Oscillating Groups (NSNs: 5955010973064FD, 5955010976222FD, 5955010976223FD). This is a Firm Fixed-Price solicitation restricted to qualified sources. Proposals are due by June 1, 2026, at 4:00 PM Mountain Time.
Scope of Work
The requirement involves Test, Teardown, and Evaluation (TT&E) and subsequent Repair of Oscillating Groups. The solicitation includes multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for TT&E (CLINs 0001, 0003, 0005, each for 12 units) and Repair (CLINs 0002, 0004, 0006, each for 12 units). Repair work will commence only after a detailed quote is provided post-TT&E and a notice to proceed is issued. Data deliverables (CLINs 0007-0010, Not Separately Priced) include Commercial Asset Visibility Air Force (CAVAF) Reporting, Repairable Item Inspection Reports, a Counterfeit Prevention Plan (CPP), and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs).
Repaired items must meet the performance requirements of new items and come with a one-year warranty against workmanship or part failures. The items contain critical, export-controlled technology, requiring contractors to maintain Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) Level 2 (Self). All items require Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking per MIL-STD-130 and adherence to specific Special Packaging Instructions (SPI) and military standards for preservation, packaging, and marking, including ISPM 15 for wood packaging material.
