The originating pre-solicitation, issued by the Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, stated intent to sole-source the requirement to Northrop Grumman Corporation under FAR 6.302-1, while allowing responsible sources to submit capability statements and reserving government discretion to compete. The prime carries no small business designations.
The performance work statement covers availability support (fixed and variable), site activation at CONUS and OCONUS locations, maintenance and aircrew training, engineering, replenishment spares, hardware and software modifications, over-and-above repair, technical manuals, and travel support. Key metrics include 92 percent fleet availability, a minimum 200 Mean Time Between Removals, a maximum of two site activations per month, and AS9100 Rev D compliance. The solicitation set a $35 million minimum order value.
The vehicle runs through December 31, 2035, structured as one 12-month basic period, four 12-month ordering periods, and an option for five additional 12-month periods. Performance is primarily at the prime's Rolling Meadows, Illinois facility, with support at international locations as needed.
