Air Force RFI for MUTES and Mini-MUTES assembly evaluation and technical data package development

The Department of the Air Force is seeking industry input on evaluating and documenting MUTES and Mini-MUTES radar assemblies. - Opportunity: This is a Request for Information (RFI) for market research and planning, not a request for proposals or a commitment to award a contract. - Buyer: Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Sustainment Center, FA8250 AFSC PZAAA; the MUTES Integrated Product Team is seeking industry capabilities. - Work sought: Teardown, test, and evaluation (TT&E) of 20 unserviceable azimuth and elevation Data Package assemblies, plus a consolidated technical data package (TDP). The notice does not identify how the 20 assemblies are divided between azimuth and elevation. - Azimuth assembly: P/N 120624-101; NSN 3010-01-315-5139. - Elevation assembly: P/N 120625-101; NSN 3010-01-315-2424. - Evaluation and deliverables: Perform non-destructive disassembly, dimensional and gearing inspection, materials analysis, and functional evaluation, including multi-speed TRX-type synchro systems. Provide an individual teardown and repair-requirements report for each assembly. - TDP requirements: Develop a consolidated package based on the existing hardware configuration and compliant with MIL-STD-31000. Requested information includes electrical schematics, a bill of materials, manufacturing processes, and 3D CAD models or 2D PDF drawings. The government requires Government Ownership, Government Purpose Rights, or Unlimited Rights. - Optional work: Provide a conceptual trade study on replacing synchros with resolvers while maintaining fit, form, function, and interface compatibility. - Timing and eligibility: Whitepapers are due within 30 calendar days of RFI publication. A future award requires CMMC Level 2 (self-assessment); access to technical data or assets requires an approved DD Form 2345 or Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification. - Commercial details: No OEMs or vendors, contract value, or period of performance are specified.
