Repair of C130 Air Speed Computer

The Public Sales Office at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, is the centralized source for Technical Order (TO) releases to defense industry partners for all Tinker, Robins, and Hill AFB requests. Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 5230.25 outlines policies for technical data requests. Requests for TOs supporting solicitations for US DoD or US Government contracts must go to the announcing contracting office. Existing contracts require an AFTO Form 43 submission to the Tinker TO Policy and Oversight Office. Guidance for Non-USAF Managed Foreign Military Sales contracts is in TO 00-5-19. TO requests supporting the Parts Repair Ordering Systems (PROS) should be sent to the PROS Contract POC. Unsolicited bids, Requests for Information (RFI), or public sales requests under DoDD 5230.25 are common and require a current DD Form 2345, a company letterhead request, and a detailed list of TO numbers. Each approved TO costs $65.00, with additional fees for physical media. Requestors should allow 30 calendar days for processing.

This document outlines a request form for government-held data, likely technical drawings or specifications, intended for companies requiring access to specific weapon system information. The form requires detailed company and requestor information, including CAGE Code, DD Form 2345 certification details, and the intended use of the data. Each request can include a maximum of 15 lines for drawing numbers, CAGE codes, descriptions, NSNs, and weapon systems. A fee structure is clearly defined: a $30.00 administrative and research fee per line of data furnished, with a minimum charge of $150.00 per request if data is provided. Incomplete forms will be returned to the sender, emphasizing the need for comprehensive information to process data requests. The document's purpose is to standardize and control the process of accessing sensitive government data.

This document outlines the Repair/Remanufacture Qualification Requirements (RQR) for commodity critical safety and critical application items managed by the Air Force Sustainment Center. It establishes minimum technical requirements for potential sources to obtain Engineering Support Activity (ESA) source approval for repair or remanufacture. The RQR details the process for submitting a Source Approval Request (SAR) package, categorized into three types (Actual Item, Similar Item, New Repair/Remanufacture), each with specific documentation requirements. It also covers potential source responsibilities, the use of proprietary data, SAR evaluation procedures, and conditions for losing qualification approval. Additionally, the document provides guidelines for requesting government-furnished technical data and includes appendices with acronyms, key term definitions, a technical data rights certification letter, significant industrial processes, and detailed SAR element descriptions.

The United States Air Force, specifically the 422nd SCMS and 423rd SCMS at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) to identify potential sources for the repair of an "Air Speed Computer" (NSN: 6610-01-101-1905, P/N: 630-37070-235) for the C-130 platform. This SSS aims to determine if the requirement can be competitive or set aside for small businesses. The estimated repair requirement includes a basic order of 25 units and four optional orders of 25 units each. Interested contractors must be capable of providing all necessary labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for repair, testing, preservation, packaging, and return of serviceable units, including supply chain management and obsolescence mitigation. The government may not provide technical data, requiring potential sources to acquire it independently. Contractors wishing to be qualified must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package. This is not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded based on this market research. Responses, including business information, are due by March 11, 2026.
