Request for Information (RFI) C-130 Cargo Winch Overhaul

The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) to identify firms that can overhaul the C‑130 Cargo Winch in accordance with Military Specification Mil‑W‑26217A and Technical Orders 35D4‑2‑30‑1 and 35D4‑2‑30‑4, returning the winches to Ready‑for‑Issue condition for the USAF and USN. Respondents must detail their experience and capability to perform complete or partial winch overhauls, resolve obsolete‑part issues, and provide engineering support for Deficiency Reports and Material Improvement Projects. Required information includes past depot‑level overhaul work, configuration‑management and parts‑obsolescence processes, capacity (monthly throughput and surge capability), classified‑material handling, inventory tracking, and warranty/return procedures. The solicitation also requests business data (CAGE, NAICS 811210, size‑status, ownership, etc.) and clarification of any small‑business‑only work, with joint‑venture or teaming options encouraged. Responses are to be submitted electronically in a readable format (≤10 MB per email) to Caiveon Thomas (caiveon.thomas@us.af.mil) and Joseph Jones (joseph.jones.81@us.af.mil) no later than close of business 13 April 2026 (Part I) and the overall deadline of 18 April 2026 17:30 EST. The effort will be performed at Warner Robins, Georgia, under NAICS 811210 (Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Repairs and Overhaul). The government holds unlimited rights to the T.O.s but lacks complete build/overhaul data, making data acquisition, reverse engineering, or new source qualification uneconomical; thus, contractors must address data gaps and provide engineering solutions as part of the overhaul service.
