Description
The US Air Force is conducting market research to determine if responsible sources exist for the Secondary Power Systems and Small Gas Turbine Engines Component Improvement Program. The program aims to enhance the safety, reliability, and maintainability of Power Take Off Shafts, which are part of Secondary Power Systems essential to the operation of military aircraft. The government is seeking information from interested parties, including small businesses, to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The program would encompass a broad range of services, including continued sustainment efforts, technical data, engineering analysis, design activities, prototyping, hardware testing, and the development and implementation of system improvements.
• The program targets critical components such as Auxiliary Power Units, Jet Fuel Starters, Accessory Drive Gearboxes, Aircraft Mounted Accessory Drive gearboxes, and Power Take-Off shafts.
• The primary goal is to improve the overall safety and maintainability of SPS and GTE systems.
• Access to OEM data is required for successful solution and implementation.
• The government is interested in all small businesses, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns.
