The 415 Supply Chain Management Squadron (SCMS) � Air Force (AF) � is looking for more sources that can manufacture and repair a gearbox used on the AN/MST?T1 (V) Mini-MUTES system. The Air Force (AF) owns a full technical data package (TDP) required to produce this gearbox. The 415 SCMS is also seeking recommendations on how to harden the gears using different materials and hardening methods.

As the OME�s capability diminished, the Air Force (AF) is seeking a qualified supplier capable of producing and repairing the gearbox using the complete technical data package (TDP) already in possession. Modernizing sustainment for this component also includes evaluating improved gear hardening materials and processes to increase durability, reduce wear, and extend service life under operational loads. Requests for the technical data package (TDP) can be sent to the contracting officer and contracting specialist identified in section 4 of this RFI. Requests must have a copy of your company�s DD 2345 (Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement) and Joint Certification Program (JCP) registration. 3.0 REQUESTED INFORMATION Please provide company information such as cage code, points of contact and socioeconomic status (small business, large business, SDVOSB, etc.). Can you describe your relevant capability and/or past performance on similar items? What materials will be required for fabrication? Which hardening process will be applied? What is the estimated production time for a single unit? What is the rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost, including non-recurring engineering (NRE), unit production and sustainment? 4.0 RESPONSES Interested parties are requested to respond to this RFI by answering the questions in Section 3.0. Please provide responses along with name, mailing address, phone number and e-mail address of the designated point of contact. All responses are voluntary. All responses shall be submitted to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), and Contracting Specialist (CS). Contracting Officer: Cydnee Simpson, cydnee.simpson@us.af.mil Contracting Specialist: Nicholas Standiford, nicholas.standiford@us.af.mil The Government is seeking responses by 19 October 2026 @ 12:00 PM MST. 5.0 SUMMARY THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) ONLY. The information provided in the RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Government. The US Government has not made a commitment to procure Mini-MUTEs ANMST-T1 V, and release of this RFI should not be construed as such a commitment or as authorization to incur cost for which reimbursement would be required or sought.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
