ITEM DESCRIPTION The C-5 Variable Feel Unit Diaphragm Assembly takes differential pitot-static pressures from the C-5 pitot-static system and provides the initial input to the C-5 Variable Feel Unit Assembly.

The Government does not own any data, drawings, schematics, or any other releasable technical data in support of this requirement. As a result, Goodrich Actuation Systems LTD is the only known source with adequate knowledge of the C-5 Variable Feel Unit Diaphragm Assembly performance requirements and possession of the required technical data and capabilities needed to produce this item and ensure compatibility of the equipment. INTEREST The DLA/AWB Contracting Office intends to award a sole source contract to Goodrich Actuation Systems LTD for the manufacture of the C-5 Variable Feel Unit Diaphragm Assembly in support of the C-5 Galaxy program. Other interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement no later than 16 July 2018 by emailing Scott Wise at scott.wise@us.af.mil and/or dla.dlr.proc@us.af.mil.
