    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking a contractor for the Brake Temperature Monitoring System (BTMS) T-2 modification for the MC-130J aircraft. This procurement aims to implement a risk reduction effort that will provide aircrew with hot brake indications through a digital temperature readout for each brake, along with a single Night Vision Imaging System (NVIS) compatible warning light indicator. The performance of this modification is to be conducted at Elgin Air Force Base in Florida, highlighting the critical nature of safety and operational efficiency in military aviation. The government anticipates a sole source award to Global Defense Solutions, LP, with the applicable NAICS code being 541715, and interested parties can reach out to Tiffany Wilcher or Raquiel Shell via their provided emails for further inquiries.

    RFI Brake Temperature Monitoring System (BTMS).pdf
    The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is soliciting information through a Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential sources capable of designing a Brake Temperature Monitoring System (BTMS) Kit for the MC-130J aircraft. This RFI is purely for market research and does not guarantee a future solicitation. Interested contractors must demonstrate capabilities in areas such as engineering services, operational improvements, and technical support for system installation and troubleshooting. The BTMS is required to provide digital brake temperature readouts compliant with Night Vision Imagery System standards and should be a cost-effective, non-invasive modification. Contractors are encouraged to respond with documentation outlining their capabilities, relevant experience, and how they would manage manufacturing and technical data development. Participation from small businesses and joint ventures is specifically encouraged. The inquiry emphasizes that respondents will incur their own costs and that responses must be submitted within 30 days. The overall goal is to enhance the safety and operational efficiency of the C-130J aircraft through improved brake monitoring systems, with a performance period of two years post-award.
