Contract Opportunity Analysis

The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research for sustainment support of the AN/GSM-397 Electronic Systems Test Set used with F-15 aircraft. The effort covers repair, manufacturing, spares, sustaining engineering, software support, program management, and related services, with the contractor expected to provide the material, tooling, test equipment, and engineering support needed to perform the work. The current requirement is being filled through a sole-source subsumable contract, while the government seeks commercial and non-commercial sources and notes that it has design and document change authority but lacks proprietary technical data and depot-level procedures needed for independent performance. Responses are due by June 10, 2026, and questions and submissions should be sent to Leigh Ann Taylor and/or Twyla Robertson by email.

AI Summary
The Request for Information (RFI) seeks to identify potential sources for sustainment support, including repair, manufacturing, and engineering services, for the AN/GSM-397 Electronic Systems Test Set (ESTS) used with F-15 aircraft. The Air Force currently relies on a sole-source contract but is conducting market research to explore commercial and non-commercial capabilities to foster competition. The government holds Design and Document Change Authority but lacks proprietary technical data, software, and test procedures for independent execution. Responses are due by June 10, 2026, and should detail technical, engineering, production, software sustainment, and program management capabilities, along with relevant experience and proprietary data access approaches. The RFI also requests business information, NAICS code 811210, and specific details on various capabilities including cybersecurity, quality management, transition-in plans, and commercial practices.
