## Description

The USAF Minuteman III Launch Facility (LF) and Launch Control Center (LCC) motor generators require a specialized cadmium plating process on mating metal surfaces to ensure corrosion protection and low bonding resistance. This process involves specific equipment, chemicals, and brush cadmium plating techniques. Cadmium plating is critical not only for corrosion control but also for its high electrical conductivity, meeting nuclear hardness bonding and grounding requirements in the Minuteman (MM) Weapon System.

The USAF currently mandates the overhaul of at least 11 LF and 4 LCC motor generators annually, with cadmium plating repair integrated into the depot repair/overhaul process.

If you are interested and capable of performing these cadmium plating requirements for the Minuteman III motor generator overhaul, please contact: Merrick Flygare, merrick.flygare@us.af.mil, 801-775-2223 and Michael Checketts, michael.checketts@us.af.mil, 801-586-6638 with the following information: Company Name and Cage Code Point of Contact (POC) info - email and phone number Small or Large Business Is your company registered in SAM Please provide responses NLT 02 April 2025 at 11:59pm MST.
