RMCD ROAR 2

The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) for a contractor to design, develop, and deliver a complete hardware‑and‑software system that will replace the legacy Multi‑Function Display Units (MFDUs) on the C‑5M aircraft under the C‑5M Replacement Multi‑Functional Controls and Displays (RMCD) program. The solution must resolve current line‑replaceable‑unit (LRU) manufacturing source shortages, prevent mission‑incapable grounding, and improve aircraft availability. Respondents must be capable of providing a Secret‑level security clearance, conform to all applicable military and aviation standards, achieve military airworthiness certification, and prioritize a Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA). The effort includes supplying sufficient quantities for integration at both Contractor and Government Systems Integration Laboratories, supporting prototype installations, and conducting subsequent ground and flight testing. The contractor will furnish all required material, support equipment, tools, and test equipment, and will be responsible for maintaining and calibrating this equipment at its own or a subcontractor’s facility. Deliverables include a comprehensive product baseline with detailed hardware “build‑to” specifications, engineering drawings, process and material data, and full product‑support documentation (installation, test, operation, training, disposal). Software development will follow an agile‑at‑scale framework (e.g., SAFe) rather than traditional waterfall milestones. Participation in this survey does not guarantee future contract award, and the Government will not reimburse any participation costs. Responses are due by 16:00 hours on 26 May 2026; point of contact is Maria George (maria.george.1@us.af.mil).
