Standardization of DAF Generators

Request for Information (RFI)

This RFI seeks industry feedback regarding a proposed brand-name Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for the standardization of Facility Generators and their associated components at Air Force Base installations. The goal is to allow each USAF installation to select a standard brand of generator when new/replacement generators are required, supporting existing inventory and contracts. The current J&A, approved in December 2021 for five years, is intended to be renewed for another five years (FY27-FY32) to support this standardization effort.

Request for Information (RFI)

This RFI seeks feedback from interested parties regarding a proposed brand-name Class Justification and Approval (J&A) for the standardization of Facility Generators and their associated components across all U.S. Air Force (USAF) installations, both within and outside the contiguous United States. The goal is to allow each installation to select a standard brand based on its existing inventory for new/replacement generators and components. The USAF plans to renew an existing Class J&A (originally approved in December 2021 for five years) for another five years (FY27-FY32) to support this standardization through natural attrition.

This RFI is for informational and planning purposes only and is NOT a solicitation. Responses will help the government understand the potential impact of the planned J&A on industry. No contract will be awarded directly from this RFI, and no reimbursement will be made for costs associated with providing information.
