Air Force Sustainment Center

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, a sub-agency of the Air Force's materiel command structure, acquires repair, maintenance, sustainment, and engineering support for Air Force aircraft and equipment across multiple depots and logistics complexes. AFSC operates four air logistics complexes—at Hill, Ogden, Tinker, and Robins Air Force Bases—and manages a massive portfolio of sustainment contracts across the Air Force fleet.

AFSC has awarded 98,075 contracts since 1987, with combined potential value of $50.64 billion and combined dollars obligated at $57.54 billion. Recent annual activity shows 1,786 awards in 2023, 1,909 in 2024, 1,975 in 2025, 1,220 in 2026, and 3 year-to-date in 2027. The latest recorded award date is July 2027, approximately eight months in the future. This high award velocity across a broad industrial base reflects the center's role as the Air Force's primary sustainment acquisition hub.

The Boeing Company leads recent contract activity by award count with 989 awards valued at $1.31 billion over the last five years, followed by RTX Corporation with 442 awards at $800.2 million, and Thomas Instrument, Incorporated with 324 awards at $221.7 million. By potential value, Boeing again leads, followed by General Electric Company at $813.8 million across 77 awards, RTX at $800.2 million, and CFM International Inc. at $688.8 million. Competitive concentration is fragmented, with the top five primes by award count holding 25 percent of recent awards and the top five by potential value holding only 8 percent, reflecting a large supplier base of 8,340 distinct prime contractors across the portfolio history. Small Business accounts for 10 percent of awards; Competitive 8(a) and 8(a) Sole Source together comprise 4 percent; HUBZone, SDVOSB, and other set-asides remain under 1 percent each. No set-aside designations cover 86 percent of awards. Recent awards with no reported potential value indicate substantial volume flowing through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, and modifications.
