    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of repairing Helmet Mounted Integrated Targeting (HMIT) sub-assemblies, which are currently serviced exclusively by Thales Visionix, Inc. The procurement aims to find contractors who can provide all necessary materials, equipment, and services for the repair of specific components, as the government lacks the required repair data, making acquisition or reverse engineering impractical. This initiative is crucial for enhancing operational readiness while addressing supply chain constraints and proprietary data issues. Interested contractors are encouraged to submit documentation detailing their capabilities to Lorie Burton at lorie.burton@us.af.mil, as participation will inform future planning and budgeting, although it does not guarantee contract opportunities or reimbursement for costs incurred.

Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) are sought from both large and small businesses, with an emphasis on collaboration through joint ventures or teaming. Submissions should detail capabilities, past relevant experiences, and plans for meeting the repair requirements, while referencing the appropriate North American Industry Classification System code. The government clarifies that responses will be evaluated for planning purposes only, with no guarantee of contract awards or reimbursement for participation. Interested parties must submit documentation by the specified deadline and may direct inquiries to the designated program manager. This initiative reflects the government's commitment to effectively manage its defense-related repair operations while exploring feasible market sources for the necessary expertise.
