The Department of the Air Force is conducting market research for a future firm‑fixed‑price contract to provide management, manufacturing, demonstration, and delivery of build‑to‑print test and maintenance kits for the E‑6 Portable Automated Test Set (PATS) 70‑A Fuel Quantity Indicating System (FQIS). The effort will supply cases, labels, ruggedized “built‑to‑print” cables, interface test adapters (ITAs), and self‑test plugs to replace legacy equipment supporting the 516th Software Engineering Squadron and the E‑6 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS). Offerors must demonstrate recent (past three‑year) experience in manufacturing test equipment for DoD installations, producing ruggedized cables, and delivering similar services to government or commercial customers. Submissions must include a one‑page company profile (including business size/type under NAICS 334417), a two‑page capability statement, a one‑page proposed approach (schedule, subcontracting percentage, total cost estimate, and any recommendation to use an alternative NAICS code), and any additional comments. Only vendors with an active Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification and a current DD Form 2345 will be eligible to receive solicitation documents. Responses are due 22 June 2026, 17:00 ET; questions should be directed to Kevin Hutchison (kevin.hutchison.2@us.af.mil, 801‑777‑4449).
