Definitive Contract FA811725C0004

The Air Force Sustainment Center awarded an $886,000 firm fixed-price definitive contract to Elevan LLC (doing business as Elevate Systems) on August 28, 2025, for reverse engineering of a B-2 Spirit vertical velocity indicator (VVI). The contract, which carries an 8(a) sole source set-aside designation, is scheduled for completion by August 31, 2027, and will be performed in San Antonio, Texas. Elevan LLC is a minority-owned, economically disadvantaged woman-owned small business (EDWOSB) and SBA-certified 8(a) Program participant specializing in aerospace engineering and component reverse engineering services for military aircraft platforms.

This engagement supports the Air Force's sustainment and modernization objectives for the B-2 Spirit strategic bomber fleet by enabling the development or replication of critical avionics components. The vertical velocity indicator is essential instrumentation for aircraft operations, and reverse engineering capabilities allow the Air Force to maintain and sustain aging systems where original technical data or manufacturing sources may be limited. Elevan LLC's specialized expertise in reverse engineering and remanufacturing of complex aerospace components, demonstrated through multiple prior Air Force Sustainment Center contracts, positions the company to deliver the technical analysis and documentation necessary to support ongoing B-2 fleet readiness and logistics operations.
