The U.S. Air Force awarded Marietta Nondestructive Testing LLC a $7.37 million firm fixed-price contract to repair and upgrade Industrial Computed Tomography (ICT) 1500/2500 detection, control, and motion systems supporting the 709th Maintenance Support Squadron's Intercontinental Ballistic Missile operations at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. This contract, set aside for small businesses, encompasses replacement and modernization of critical components including linear diode arrays, scintillator assemblies, reference detectors, printed circuit boards, and motion control systems to current technology standards. The work is essential for sustaining the inspection and maintenance capabilities of the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile weapon system, with upgrades scheduled for the ICT-2500 system during fiscal year 2024 and the ICT-1500 system during fiscal year 2025, with X-ray source replacements deferred to the final phase due to extended lead times.
Marietta Nondestructive Testing LLC, a Georgia-based manufacturer specializing in nondestructive testing products and advanced imaging systems for defense applications, brings relevant expertise having performed similar work for multiple military branches including Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Air Warfare Center, and Army Aviation and Missile Command. The contract is funded through the Ogden Air Logistics Complex, part of Air Force Materiel Command's Air Force Sustainment Center, which oversees depot-level maintenance and modernization of strategic weapon systems. Performance is scheduled for completion by January 30, 2027, with all work conducted at Hill Air Force Base in Utah.
