Indefinite Delivery Contract FA810620D0001

This federal contract IDV award from the U.S. Air Force is for T-1A Sustainment Engineering and Program Management (SEPM) services to support the Air Force's T-1A Jayhawk training aircraft. The single-award indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract has a ceiling value of $38.1 million and a period of performance through August 2026. The prime contractor is Textron Aviation Defense LLC, a subsidiary of the aerospace and defense conglomerate Textron Inc. Under this IDIQ, the Air Force has issued multiple firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders to Textron Aviation Defense for recurring engineering support, technical services, program management, component upgrades, and aircraft modifications necessary to sustain the T-1A fleet. The work is primarily performed in Wichita, Kansas. This contract supports the Air Force's mission to maintain readiness and capability of its pilot training assets, with Textron Aviation Defense leveraging its extensive experience supporting aircraft programs for the Department of Defense.

The original procurement opportunity, solicitation FA8106-19-R-0004, was an unrestricted pre-solicitation issued by the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center seeking proposals for T-1A sustainment engineering and program management services. As the incumbent provider, Textron Aviation Defense was identified as the only approved source due to the specialized data and experience required to sustain this critical training aircraft platform over the potential 10-year ordering period. The contract utilizes a combination of cost-reimbursement and firm-fixed-price contract line items to procure the necessary engineering, maintenance, and management support for the T-1A fleet.
