C-5 Flap Asymmetry Brake Overhaul

The Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) is conducting market research for qualified sources to overhaul the C‑5 Flap Asymmetry Brake (NSN 1680‑01‑525‑8920, Part 5903‑105K/L). Respondents must submit a capability summary that includes a detailed facility layout, lists of machinery, fixtures, tooling, and test/inspection equipment, and evidence of ISO 9001 (or equivalent) certification. Bidders must demonstrate prior repair experience on comparable critical aircraft parts used on large commercial or military transport aircraft, providing contract numbers, procuring agencies, contract values, quantities shipped, drawings and photographs of similar parts, testing requirements, and documented test results. A comprehensive overhaul process plan must align with USAF overhaul manual 16C1‑4‑18‑3, covering traceability of repaired material, source documentation for raw material, plating, painting, and required tooling (T.O. 16C1‑4‑18‑3 Tables 2‑1 and 4‑1). Any proposed alternate tooling, test equipment, or process deviations must be justified in writing and shown to meet or exceed manual capabilities. At least 80 % of the repair workload must be performed in‑house, with first‑article testing required for bidders without recent (within five years) repair history on the item. Interested parties must express interest and capability by 25 May 2026 via email to Contracting Officer Staceylee Johnson (stacylee.johnson.1@us.af.mil), Contracting Buyer Alyssa Tanner (alyssa.tanner.1@us.af.mil), Program Manager Trent Miller (trent.miller.4@us.af.mil), and Engineer Andrew Hyatt (andrew.hyatt.9@us.af.mil). Pre‑qualification documentation, including the Source Qualification Statement and any required third‑party ISO 9001 certification, must be submitted at no cost to the government. The requirement will be competed as full and open competition to all qualified sources; currently only Thomas Instruments (CAGE 5H860) holds source qualification.
