About this award
The U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center awarded a firm fixed-price delivery order valued at $8.92 million to Rockwell Collins, Inc. (operating as Collins Aerospace Military Avionics & Helicopters, a division of RTX Corporation) for the new manufacture of radio altimeters for KC-135 aircraft. The contract, awarded on December 19, 2025, carries an ultimate completion date of March 31, 2027, and will be performed at Collins Aerospace's facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. No small business set-aside was utilized for this procurement, reflecting the contractor's competitive positioning as a large business prime contractor. Radio altimeters are critical avionics components that provide precise altitude measurements during aircraft operations, particularly important for KC-135 tanker aircraft used extensively in military aerial refueling operations.
This delivery order supports the Air Force's sustainment requirements for legacy KC-135 aircraft, which remain a cornerstone of the Department of Defense's aerial refueling capability. Collins Aerospace's Collins Avionics & Helicopters division maintains substantial manufacturing and engineering capabilities in Cedar Rapids, enabling efficient production of specialized avionics components. The award underscores Collins Aerospace's established role as a key supplier of advanced avionics and navigation systems to the Department of Defense and its regular engagement in supporting major military aviation platforms through comprehensive component manufacturing and sustainment services.
