REQUIREMENTS DESCRIPTION APY-1/2 Temperature Control Valve Repair PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION We are conducting market research to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to perform depot repair services for the TCV used on the E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) radar system. The TCV is a critical avionics mechanical component that controls coolant flow to avionics hardware of the radar system. The TCV is a component of the E-3 APY-1/2 Surveillance Radar System. The APY-1/2 is AWACS exclusive airborne radar developed by Westinghouse, now Northrop Grumman, for determining the location, altitude, course, and speed of large numbers of targets. The Contractor shall be capable of furnishing all required labor, material, facilities, and test equipment to accomplish the repair. The USAF will deliver only existing quantities of legacy hardware for this effort. The Contractor shall deliver at least two (2) production first article assets that pass all qualification and integration testing in accordance with Northrop Grumman source control drawing 581R911H01. The USAF will use organic facilities and labor for next higher assembly integration and qualification of the two first article production assets. Our acquisition strategy is a twelve-month purchase order with a projected quantity of ten each repairs. Follow-on efforts may continue through CY 2040 to encourage the Contractor to maintain a long-term sustainable TCV repair capability to support the APY system. The Government requests technical data, parts lists, drawings, training, and equipment needed to initiate organic repair OR a willingness to form a partnership for repairs to manage, maintain, and update the TCV hardware as required.
