Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically FA8525 AFLCMC WLSKA, is conducting market research via a Request for Information (RFI) for the C-5M Replacement Multi-Functional Controls and Displays (RMCD) Program. This RFI seeks sources capable of delivering a hardware and software system solution to replace legacy Multi-Function Display Units (MFDUs), addressing diminishing manufacturing source issues and improving aircraft availability. This effort would require up to a Secret security clearance. Responses are due May 26, 2026.
Scope of Work
The Government is seeking a solution to perform all functions of the legacy MFDUs. The contractor shall:
- Deliver a hardware and software system solution for the C-5M RMCD program.
- Resolve diminishing manufacturing source issues and avoid aircraft grounding.
- Ensure the solution conforms to applicable military and aviation standards to gain military airworthiness certification.
- Prioritize the use of a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA).
- Provide sufficient system quantities to support integration activities at Contractor and Government Systems Integration Laboratories (SILs), prototype installations, and ground/flight testing.
- Furnish a product baseline including documentation for physical characteristics, pre-production acceptance testing, and product support (installation, test, operation, support, training, disposal).
- Develop software using an agile at scale framework (e.g., SAFe).
