The Government will not pay respondents for information in response to this RFI. The B-1B has recently seen an increase in firing lead damage due to weapons loading. The firing leads receive enough damage to require complete replacement. The replacement requires complete disassembly and reassembly of the BRU and often requires excess manpower and manhours to accomplish. The Government is contemplating the award of a study. Contractors will be required to determine the best approach to prevent the firing lead damage and/or reduce the manpower and manhours required to replace the firing leads. Please provide answers to the following questions. Your responses will be used in market research for this acquisition. Please limit your total response to no more than three pages.
