F-15 Universal Serial Bus Data Transfer Module Reader (UDTMR) Retrofit Kits

The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to identify capable vendors that can design, fabricate, assemble, test, and deliver Universal Data Transfer Module Reader (UDTMR) retrofit kits for the F‑15 fleet. The kits replace obsolete data‑transfer hardware with modern USB‑based modules and must meet strict military quality and testing standards, including acceptance testing in the Government’s Fully Automated Debrief System (FADS). The solicitation is an RFI; responses are voluntary and do not guarantee a future contract. • Quantity: approximately 30‑40 retrofit kits, with a production turnaround of 60‑90 days after order receipt. • Required capabilities: PCB fabrication (multilayer, SMT/through‑hole), custom wiring, sheet‑metal backplates, USB‑C/Micro‑USB integration, compliance with IPC‑A‑610, ISO‑9001/AS9100, and DFARS counterfeit‑mitigation. • Mandatory testing: Contractor must have at least two CAC‑enabled personnel authorized to access the FADS environment at award time for on‑site acceptance testing at Robins AFB, GA (or Eglin AFB, FL). • No budget is disclosed; the Government seeks detailed technical, production, and schedule information to guide future procurement.
