The United States Air Force (USAF) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to conduct market research and identify potential industry partners capable of providing Return to Service (RTS) and lifecycle sustainment support for six Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)-capable King Air 350 aircraft in Iraq. The aircraft have been grounded since 2022 and require comprehensive physical, structural, and avionics assessments, as well as overhaul and repair to return them to an airworthy status. The selected partner will also be responsible for providing ongoing sustainment support for up to five years. Key aspects of the job include: • Initial assessment and inspection of the aircraft • Return to Service (RTS) including overhaul and repair, airworthiness certification, and innovation and efficiency • Lifecycle sustainment and operational readiness including logistics and supply chain management, obsolescence management, and field support
