Quick Summary
The Naval Air Warfare Center, Aircraft Division (NAWCADLKE) in Lakehurst, NJ, has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources for the replacement of an obsolete portion of its existing inventory of Stationary Magnetic Particle Units (SMPU). Specifically, the requirement is for NSN: 6636-01-362-9184, PN: GB-3509-01. This RFI aims to gather industry input to assist in identifying features and approaches to meet the Navy's requirements, as the Government does not own the complete build-to-print technical data for new production units.
Scope of Work
The Government intends to replace obsolete SMPU units with the same model and part number as the remaining inventory. This is crucial to maintain existing capability, supply support, and technical manual coverage. The RFI seeks information from vendors capable of providing these specific units.
