Indefinite Delivery Contract FA853425D0016

DRS Sustainment Systems Inc., a subsidiary of Leonardo SPA, was awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at approximately $21.0 million by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Robins Air Force Base to provide overhaul and depot-level maintenance support for the 25,000-pound capacity Halvorsen Aircraft Cargo Loader. The contract, which commenced on September 15, 2025, with a completion date of September 14, 2030, utilizes a one-year base period with four one-year option periods and employs a mixed contracting structure combining fixed-price incentive firm target, firm-fixed-price, and reimbursable-no-fee indefinite delivery/requirements methodologies. This procurement was not set-aside and represents a non-competitive award, reflecting the government's determination that sole-source contracting was appropriate for this specialized sustainment requirement. The award was issued without geographic set-asides, allowing full evaluation based on contractor capability and past performance.

The Halvorsen Aircraft Cargo Loader is a self-propelled cargo transporter designed to transfer loads between warehouses and cargo aircraft, originally engineered for a 30-year service life with provisions for a maximum of two major overhauls. Under this contract, DRS Sustainment Systems Inc. will provide both scheduled overhaul services and unscheduled depot-level maintenance to sustain fleet readiness and operational capability. The scope encompasses the full range of maintenance, repair, and overhaul activities required to maintain the equipment throughout its service life, ensuring continued operational availability for Air Force cargo handling operations. This indefinite delivery vehicle provides the government with flexible task order issuance capability, enabling responsive procurement of maintenance and repair services as requirements emerge during the five-year performance period.
