Comprehensive Landing Gear Integrity Program (C-LGIP)

The Comprehensive Landing Gear Integrity Program (C-LGIP) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the United States Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center. The contract focuses on providing comprehensive engineering services for aircraft landing gear systems, encompassing technical analysis, design, testing, data management, and program management support. Designed with a twenty-year performance period, the vehicle aims to address safety risks and maintenance requirements for various Air Force aircraft platforms, including strategic and tactical aircraft like the B-52, A-10, B-1, F-16, B-2, E-3, KC-135, LC-130, C-130, T-38, and F-15E.

Task orders under this IDIQ contract typically range from $1,000 minimum guarantee awards to substantial multi-million dollar engineering efforts, with recent task orders valued between $1,000 and $9,091,763. Prime contractors include the University of Dayton Research Institute, Engineering and Software System Solutions (ES3), and Southwest Research Institute, executing work primarily at their respective facilities in Dayton, Ohio; Clearfield, Utah; and San Antonio, Texas. The task orders consistently demonstrate a cost-plus fixed fee or firm-fixed-price pricing structure, with ultimate completion dates ranging from 2021 to 2029. No small business set-aside designations have been used in the awarded task orders, and the primary funding agency remains the Department of the Air Force's Ogden Air Logistics Complex, focusing on critical landing gear redesign, maintenance, and engineering support across multiple aircraft weapon systems.
