Borescopes are complex inspection tools, consisting of hardware, electronics, computing capabilities, optics and software. The basic components of a borescope kit include a probe or insertion tube to inspect places where it is difficult to see, small screen to maximize the view of a probe, light source to improve visibility of areas that need to be inspected, and different probe tips to allow for different viewing and measurements. Measurement capability limits the number of borescopes which can meet the USAF requirement. Borescopes are critical tools in the Air Force’s aircraft program as they facilitate internal engine inspections and are also commonly used for foreign object search and removal in cockpits and other areas of the aircraft. Borescopes enable maintainers to look inside the internal chambers of an engine without disassembling it. The commercial borescope is comprised of a variety of different configurations, sizes, and types.

Although “proposal” and “offeror” are used in this Request for Information, your response will be treated as information only. It shall not be used as a proposal INSTRUCTIONS: Below is a document containing a description of the Borescope requirement and a Contractor Capability Survey, which allows you to provide your company’s capability and to provide industry feedback regarding various aspects of this effort. If after reviewing these documents, you desire to participate in the market research, you should respond and provide documentation that supports your company’s capability in meeting these requirements. Failure to provide documentation may result in the Government being unable to adequately assess your capabilities. If you lack sufficient experience in a particular area, please provide details explaining how you would overcome the lack of experience/capabilities in order to perform that portion of the requirement (i.e., teaming, subcontracting, etc.) a. Identify any areas of work that your organization believes should be broken out exclusively for Small Business. Both large and small businesses are encouraged to participate in this Market Research. The Government anticipates holding an Industry Day in June 2026, in support of this effort. More information will be published later. Joint ventures or teaming arrangements are encouraged. Questions related to this Sources Sought Survey (SSS)/market research, as well as responses to the Contractor Capability Survey, should be addressed to Support Equipment and Vehicles Contracting Team listed below: Arenina Sullivan-Jones Alison Amerson arenina.sullivan-jones@us.af.mil alison.Amerson@us.af.mil PURPOSE/DESCRIPTION The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the production, data/repair data, expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements for the production of 4mm and 6mm Video Borescopes. The USAF requirement is defined by Commercial Item Description (CID) A-A-59883A. The CID is currently in draft format. From the CID classification, we are looking for type VI borescope. The Government anticipate awarding a 5-year Indefinite Deliver Requirements Contract. The anticipated Period of Performance is a Five-Year Contract that consist of 1-12month (1 year) Basic Year and 4–12-month (4-year) option years. The projected quantities are unknown. We are looking to see if the USAF requirement can be met. Some of the key technical requirements include: 4mm and 6mm Insertion tubes at least 3m long which are field replaceable Internal measurement software for di…
