The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualifications to support repairability maintainability, and sustaining engineering for the modified WC-130J RTP APN-241 Weather Radar. Potential sources must possess the ability to provide engineering studies for the WC-130J RTP APN-241 system in resolving reliability and maintainability issues, obsolete parts issues, identify and propose solutions to Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) issues, and analyze failure trends from both the depots and the field level shops to support the MC-130J CR-2M developmental testing. For vendors wishing to participate in this Request for Information (RFI), after reviewing the requirement, provide documentation supporting proof of company’s capability to meet the requested requirements. If lacking sufficient experience/capabilities in a particular area, please provide details explaining strategies to overcome the lack of experience/capabilities to perform that portion of the requirement.
