The document outlines a Performance Work Statement (PWS) for sustainment repair support of the RQ-4 Global Hawk (GH) National Stock Number (NSN) items for the United States Air Force (USAF). The primary objective is to repair and return assets in serviceable condition, meeting delivery schedules, including surge backorders and Mission Capable Awaiting Parts (MICAP) requests. The contract focuses on repair services for various GH components, including the AN/ZPY-2 Multi-Platform Radar, Ground Segment, engine components, landing gear, and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) itself. Key performance objectives include quality of repair, timely delivery, and adherence to reporting requirements. The document details contractor responsibilities regarding government property, including Contractor Acquired Property (CAP), loss reporting, and return procedures. It also covers technical requirements such as the period and place of performance, Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), specific repair processes (e.g., Test, Teardown, & Evaluation, Beyond Economic Repair), configuration control, obsolescence management, Item Unique Identification (IUID), packaging, and Commercial Asset Visibility-Air Force (CAV-AF) reporting. Additionally, the PWS addresses counterfeit electronic parts prevention, Government-Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP) participation, travel, management support, and supply chain risk management, including cybersecurity and foreign influence. Mission-essential services and security requirements are also specified.

The provided government file is a comprehensive list of National Stock Numbers (NSN) and corresponding part numbers with their material descriptions. The document primarily details various types of computer systems, electronic assemblies, communication equipment, and test kits. It also includes components for aircraft, such as landing gear, actuators, and various kits for maintenance, pressurization, and defueling. Furthermore, the file lists power supply units, generators, hydraulic components, and various types of valves and sensors. The diverse range of items suggests that this document serves as an inventory or procurement list for a broad spectrum of federal government needs, encompassing electronics, aviation, and general maintenance equipment.

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued by the U.S. Government to identify potential sources capable of providing depot-level test and repair services for the RQ-4B Global Hawk System, specifically the Block 40 configuration. The government seeks contractors with the expertise, capabilities, and experience to repair National Stock Numbers (NSNs) listed in Attachment A. Currently, Northrop Grumman, the original manufacturer, is the sole source for these repairs, as the government does not own the necessary technical data, and reverse engineering or data acquisition is deemed uneconomical. The RFI emphasizes that no contract will be awarded based on this request; it is for informational planning and budgetary forecasting only. Interested large and small businesses, including those in joint ventures or teaming arrangements, are encouraged to respond with documentation supporting their capabilities, particularly addressing how they would overcome the lack of government-owned technical data. Responses, including business information, capability surveys covering general, repair, commerciality, continuity of operations, cybersecurity, and foreign influence questions, are due by January 20, 2026. Questions should be directed to Kimberly Berdon via email.
