MINUTEMAN III SYSTEMS PROGRAM OFFICE ECS Replacement program

The US Air Force is seeking information from potential sources for the Environmental Control Systems Replacement (ECS-R) program, which aims to develop, build, and test a materiel solution to replace the current Environmental Control Systems (ECS) used in the Minuteman III (MMIII) Missile Alert Facilities (MAF) and Launch Facilities (LF). The ECS provides environmental control and equipment cooling, ensuring an acceptable operating environment for all equipment and personnel. The government is interested in gathering information on potential sources' capabilities, technical innovations, and experience in developing and producing similar systems. • The ECS-R program will involve the replacement of various components, including brine chillers, programmable logic controllers, condenser fan motors, and air handler fan motors. • The government is seeking information on potential sources' experience with the Air Force Test & Evaluation (T&E) process, nuclear hardness testing, and supply chain management. • The ECS-R program will require compliance with the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program and the Air Force Risk Management Framework process. • The government is planning to award a contract for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase, with the potential for future production and deployment contracts.
