The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s Modernization Branch is issuing an RFI to gather market information on a next‑generation hydrogenated dielectric cooling fluid for the F‑22 aircraft. The fluid must be a synthetic hydrocarbon base oil with additives to improve heat‑transfer properties such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, and coefficient of thermal expansion. Respondents are asked to answer six technical questions, provide relevant experience, and submit a concise technical response (≤ 12 pages) plus required company data. No pricing, award, or funding is guaranteed; this is a market‑research exercise to inform future procurements. • Provide data on experience with hydrogenated dielectric coolants or related additives. • Describe testing performed, non‑proprietary fluid properties, prior or planned applications, and any recycled/biobased content. • Submit a PDF response by 1700 EST on 3 Nov 2026; all submissions become Government property with no reimbursement.
