The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is seeking information on potential sources for the Life Support Systems Scientific Test, Analysis, and Qualification Lab (LSS STAQ). The LSS STAQ lab will perform various tasks, including testing and evaluation of aircrew flight equipment and oxygen systems, support for investigations of human interfaces, collection and analysis of oxygen system performance data, and planning and execution of experiments. The lab will also operate and maintain test support infrastructure, including vacuum pumps, altitude chambers, and air compressors. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to gather information on the current state and availability of vendors that are capable of laboratory operations, maintenance, development, test, and evaluation in the area of OBOGS and oxygen systems related technology.
