Indefinite Delivery Contract FA811920D0004

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center awarded a $11.3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract (IDC) to Ophir Corporation, a subsidiary of MKS Instruments Inc., for the provision of laser components, testing equipment, and field repair services to support the B-2 stealth bomber fleet. Under this IDC, which runs from May 2020 to May 2025, the Air Force Sustainment Center has issued multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Ophir, ranging from $10,568 to $1.95 million, for the manufacture and repair of critical B-2 laser optical assemblies, pilot alert systems, and laser energy monitors. As the prime contractor, Ophir performs this work out of its facility in Littleton, Colorado. The contracted products and services are essential for sustaining the advanced targeting and long-range strike capabilities of the B-2 bomber. No set-aside designations were used for these awards, reflecting the specialized nature of Ophir's electro-optics expertise.

The original solicitation (FA8119-19-R-0008) sought laser optical assemblies, laser energy monitors, and associated repair services for the B-2 fleet. The Air Force Sustainment Center, a defense agency responsible for maintaining aircraft and weapons systems, is the primary funding source for this contract. The contract does not utilize any small business set-asides, indicating the highly technical nature of the required components and repair services. The delivery orders specify various quantities, frequencies, and completion dates for the laser-based products and sustainment activities to be performed by Ophir Corporation over the five-year period of performance.
