About this vehicle
Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command awarded the Aircraft Maintenance Enterprise Solution (ACES), a Master IDIQ multiple award contract with a $14 billion shared ceiling for comprehensive fleet management, aircraft maintenance, and site-specific mission support services, with orders accepted through September 30, 2031. The vehicle carries no set-aside, and all 16 task orders are unrestricted. Ordering authority has about 4 years and 10 months remaining. Award Date was September 1, 2020, and the first task order followed on September 15, 2020. Orders per year run 1 in 2021, 1 in 2022, 3 in 2023, none in 2024, 1 in 2025, and 2 in 2026, with the most recent on February 1, 2026. Of the $2.78 billion combined potential value, $1.1 billion (39%) is obligated.
M1 Support Services, L.P. (6 orders, $1.48 billion) and Amentum Services, Inc. (5 orders, $1.3 billion) hold 11 of 16 orders and account for the full combined potential value. Leidos, Inc., Akima Logistics Services LLC, and Dyncorp International LLC each hold one order at $4 thousand, and two smaller primes hold the balance.
Air Education and Training Command places 12 of 16 orders ($1.94 billion), with Air Combat Command (2 orders, $517.2 million), Headquarters District Washington (1 order, $305.2 million), and Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Wright Patterson Air Force Base (1 order, $19.4 million) as the remaining customers.
Awarded orders buy depot-level and flightline work across several platforms: T-38 sustainment for 62 aircraft ($107.2 million ceiling), KC-46 test aircraft maintenance, maintenance for 167 A-10, F-15E, F-16, F-22, and F-35 aircraft including operation of all 57 maintenance group backshops ($409.9 million ceiling), executive airlift maintenance, trainer maintenance, and flight operations support at Vance Air Force Base ($974.7 million ceiling, $349.7 million obligated, ending January 31, 2027). Largest obligations after Vance are Sheppard ($237.4 million obligated against a $442.4 million ceiling) and Columbus Air Force Base ($202.5 million obligated against a $449.1 million ceiling). Eight orders are minimum guarantee task orders at $3,500 each, which are contractual floors rather than representative order values. Most active orders run to completion between January 2027 and January 2030.
Awarded work is located at Columbus, Mississippi; Vance, Oklahoma; Sheppard, Texas; and Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida. The solicitation limits scope to bases within the contiguous United States, Alaska, and Hawaii.
