The Government anticipates releasing the formal solicitation at the end of February 2024. **The Government anticipates releasing the new solicitation FA8105-24-R-B001 Jan/Feb 2024.** This is an RFI for market research purposes issued by the C/KC?135 Contracting Branch, AFLCMC/WLT at Tinker Air Force Base (TAFB). PURPOSE The purpose of this RFI-04 is to post contractor question and government answer (Q&A) submitted pertaining to the Center Console Refresh (CCR) Revision.

As stipulated in FAR 15.201(e), responses to this notice are not considered offers, shall not be used as a proposal, and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

INFORMATION REQUESTED CONTRACTOR QUESTION: In the latest SAM updates for the KC-135 fuel management and FDS ( Flight Display System), when the government mentions "hardening" requirement, are you referring to software or hardware? Or both? Said another way, I understand the solicitation is referring to objective and threshold, but there may be levels of software hardening from a safety level given the modifications the USAF may specify through Mil Std 516C ( and possible D) if AA-22-01 continues its evolution. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE: This information will be addressed in the Statement of Work (SOW) upon release of the KC-135 CCR Revision Request for Proposal (RFP).
