Description
Request For Information (RFI) #2 Regarding the Missile Transporter (MT)
AGENCY/ORGANIZATION:Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center (AFNWC), Minuteman III Systems Directorate (MMIIISD), ACAT III Branch (NMAB)WEAPON SYSTEM:Minuteman III (MMIII) Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)PROGRAM:Missile Transporter Acquisition Program (MTAP)BACKGROUND:The Air Force-s (AF) fleet of MTs must support the MMIII LGM30G ICBM until the end of its operational life. However, the existing challenge of parts obsolescence poses a significant obstacle to providing seamless support. Additionally, a scarcity of spare parts, some entirely unobtainable, coupled with substantial engineering updates required by the Technical Data Package (TDP), further complicates the situation. Given these considerations, the AF aims to address identified obsolescence, update the TDP, and ultimately execute a comprehensive fleet-wide MT replacement. Current information shows that a fleet-wide replacement will require the procurement of 1-2 MT Tractors and 1-2 MT Trailers during the Engineering, Manufacturing, and Development (EMD) phase.1 During Production, the AF expects to procure 8-9 MT Tractors and 13-14 MT Trailers.2
1 If the AF funds one MT Tractor and one MT Trailer during EMD, it will procure 9 MT Tractors and 14 MT Trailers during production. If the AF chooses to fund two MT Tractors and two MT Trailers during EMD, it will procure 8 MT Tractors and 13 MT Trailers during production.2 Taking into account both EMD and Production phases, the Air Force must procure a total of 10 MT Tractors and 15 MT Trailers in order to meet projected requirements.
