Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, under the Department of the Air Force at Hill Air Force Base, is seeking market information for an engineering and obsolescence study for the AN/MST-T1(V) Miniature Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-MUTES) transmitter. The work calls for identifying all obsolescent parts in the transmitters and associated components and developing a detailed path forward for refurbishment or replacement to support continued system sustainment. The study is tied to a system that supports aircrew survivability training, has hardware and electronics dating to the 1980s, and is intended to help keep the system sustainable through 2045; the anticipated period of performance is one year and the expected contract type is a mix of firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee. Interested vendors should submit a white paper or capability statement addressing corporate experience, technical approach, deliverables, cost and schedule estimates, and risks; responses are due July 3, 2026.

AI Summary
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research through a Request For Information (RFI) for an engineering study on the AN/MST-T1(V) Miniature Multiple Threat Emitter System (Mini-MUTES) transmitters. This system, critical for aircrew survivability training, faces sustainment challenges due to hardware and electronics obsolescence, with components dating back to the 1980s. The RFI aims to identify sources capable of performing a study to identify all obsolescent parts within the transmitters and associated components, providing a detailed path forward for refurbishment or replacement to ensure system sustainment until 2045. The anticipated period of performance is one year, starting no later than XX 2026. The contract type is expected to be a mix of Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF). Interested vendors are requested to submit a white paper or capability statement addressing their corporate experience, technical approach, study deliverables, cost and schedule estimates, and potential risks. Responses are due by July 3, 2026.
