About this vehicle

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Ogden Air Logistics Complex awarded ATLAS 3, a Master IDIQ for landing gear engineering services, on July 31, 2018, with ordering authority extending through July 30, 2028 — approximately 2 years and 1 week of remaining window. The vehicle succeeds ATLAS 2.5 (awarded July 19, 2012) and carries a $96 million shared ceiling. All 33 task orders awarded to date are unrestricted, competitive procurements with no set-aside designation.

Competition is heavily concentrated. Engineering and Software System Solutions, Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 27 of 33 orders (82% of total count) with $175.2 million in combined potential value. University of Dayton holds the remaining 6 orders worth $25.3 million combined potential value. No other primes have been awarded work under the vehicle. The single customer — Ogden ALC — has placed all task orders.

Ordering momentum has decelerated. The vehicle averaged 3.6 orders annually over the five-year span 2020–2024, peaking at 5 orders in 2022 and dropping to 2 in 2024. The most recent award was placed on August 7, 2024. Task orders are predominantly firm-fixed-price engineering services supporting redesign and integrity efforts across legacy airframes: C-5, B-52, KC-135, C-130, F-16, F-15, B-1, and LC-130. Representative work includes bogie and positioning servo valve redesigns (C-5), comprehensive integrity programs (B-52), brake and wheel system improvements (B-52), and shock strut friction-burn elimination (KC-135, B-1B). The largest awarded order is the C-5 Bogie Redesign (FA820318D0003-FA820322F0034), with a ceiling of $26.966 million and $24.6 million obligated.

Combined potential value across all 33 task orders is $200.5 million, with $174.1 million obligated (87% of combined potential value). Task-order values range from $1,000 to $26.966 million, with typical durations extending 2–5 years from award. The vehicle remains active but approaching saturation of its shared ceiling with limited runway for new awards before the July 2028 ordering deadline.

Description

The Applied Technologies for Landing Systems (ATLAS) 3 Program Master IDIQ was awarded to meet USAF Landing Gear engineering services requirements.
