U-2 Life Support Sustainment and Support

The Request for Information (RFI) FA8528-21-D-0003 seeks sources for U-2 Life Support Sustainment and Support, focusing on depot-level repair and Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for oxygen-related equipment. The government requires contractors with expertise in maintaining S-1034 Pilot Protective Assemblies, oxygen systems, and survival kits. This RFI is for market research and planning purposes only, not a solicitation for proposals, and responses will not be compensated. The OEM and sole source for this equipment is Mission Systems Orchard Park. Contractors must provide all materials, support equipment, tools, and services, including total material management as an AFMC-certified Contractor-Inventory Control Point (C-ICP). The RFI includes a Contractor Capability Survey, due by January 2, 2026, to assess potential sources' facilities, past experience, repair capabilities, quality assurance, engineering services, and ability to address issues like obsolescence and lack of technical data. Both large and small businesses, including joint ventures, are encouraged to participate.
