The U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center awarded a $228,297 firm fixed-price delivery order to Thomas Instrument, Incorporated on April 8, 2024, for the overhaul of a B-1 right-hand gear sweep actuator. This delivery order is performance-based work to be completed by August 29, 2025, and represents task order activity under a larger indefinite delivery contract vehicle. Thomas Instrument, based in Brookshire, Texas, is a specialized aerospace and defense manufacturing company with extensive experience in remanufacturing and repair of complex mechanical components for military aircraft platforms, including the B-1 bomber. The work involves no set-aside designation and is awarded as a firm fixed-price contract, establishing predictable costs for the actuator overhaul services.

This delivery order falls within Thomas Instrument's broader responsibilities under an existing $21.8 million B-1 angle drive gearbox overhaul contract with the Air Force Sustainment Center, leveraging the contractor's established expertise in B-1 platform sustainment and actuator systems. The Air Force Sustainment Center, which executes the Air Force's logistics and sustainment mission, regularly issues task orders for depot-level maintenance and overhaul of critical aircraft systems to maintain operational readiness across the B-1 fleet. Thomas Instrument's track record of successful performance on similar defense contracts, including work on hydraulic actuators and gearbox assemblies for various military platforms, positions the company as a capable supplier for this specialized overhaul requirement.
