Summary

AI-generated · Jan 27, 2026

Identify potential sources capable of repairing two AN/ALQ-172 subassemblies: BIT Limiter (NSN 5895-01-267-7728EW, PN 0036002-1) and Down Converter (NSN 5895-01-267-7705EW, PN 0498036-1). The effort seeks firms with the repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for these parts, which are military-unique items.

RMC/RMSC ratings indicate first-time repair directly from the original manufacturer (RMC R4) and that the government does not have adequate data or rights to contract repairs from other sources (RMSC R); it is uneconomical to obtain data or reverse engineer. The contractor must provide all materials, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services, and maintain/calibrate equipment at their facility or a subcontractor’s facility. Replacements must equal or exceed original quality. The known sole-source contractor is Raytheon. Participation in this market research does not guarantee future opportunities, and no reimbursements will be provided. Refer to attachments for full RFI details and the draft Performance Work Statement.

The RMC/RMSC for each of the listed subassemblies is R4/R. RMC R4 indicates repair, for the first time, directly from the actual manufacturer. RMSC R indicates the Government does not have adequate data, lacks rights to data, or both needed to contract repair of this part from additional sources. It has been determined to be uneconomical to buy the data or rights to the data. It is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part. The Government does not own or have access to the data for these items. The Government has determined that this system is a military unique item. Contractor shall furnish all material, support equipment, tools, test equipment, and services. The contractor is responsible for providing, maintaining, and calibrating all support equipment required at their facility or a subcontractor s facility. Contractor furnished material or parts used for replacement shall equal or exceed the quality of the original material or parts. The known sole source contractor for this effort is Raytheon Company.
