Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force (DEPT OF DEFENSE), specifically AFLCMC/WAQK F15, is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for F-15 MITR-DVR Depot Activation Capabilities. This RFI seeks industry input to establish a Long-Term Support Strategy for the F-15EX Modular Instrumentation Traffic Recorder (MITR) Digital Video Recorder (DVR), aiming to improve supply chain efficiencies and organic depot maintenance capabilities. Responses are due by May 17, 2026.
Scope of Work
The RFI focuses on identifying potential sources for Depot Activation capabilities for the F-15EX MITR-DVR. This includes the repair and maintenance of the MITR-DVR, associated parts/spares, and the necessary rights in technical data to ensure software functions correctly for repair verification at designated Air Logistics Complexes (ALCs). The objective is to establish F-15EX organic maintenance capabilities by identifying requirements and designing, building, or purchasing Specialized Test Equipment (STE), Test Program Sets (TPS), and Interface Test Adapters (ITAs).
Key Areas of Interest for Industry Input
- Capabilities for rapidly fieldable, producible, and scalable Depot Activation.
- Access to necessary hardware and software for F-15E/EX.
- Recurring costs, ease of installation/deployment, and sustainment approach for hardware.
- Rate of manufacturing and fielding solutions.
- Partnership with a government-led team for integration.
- Efficient solutions for organically repairing components related to Depot Activation.
- Solutions for Technical Data (TD)/data rights/Intellectual Property (IP) rights.
- Cost, schedule, and performance for Depot Activation components.
- Efficient contracting solutions and existing DoD contracts.
- Training for USAF Maintenance Technicians on test and repair, including STE operation, maintenance, and calibration.
Submission Requirements
Interested parties should submit an unclassified White Paper (CUI acceptable) that includes a corporate overview, basic qualifications, and similar project experience. Proprietary or competition-sensitive information must be clearly marked. A Cover Sheet with company and Point of Contact information is required, along with identification of small business size standard (NAICS 334511) and socioeconomic classifications. Respondents should also state if a Proprietary Information Agreement (PIA) or Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is required.
