The KC-46 Initial Spares (KIS) is a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle administered by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) to support the KC-46A Tanker Modernization program. The contract enables the procurement of initial spare parts, reparable line replacement units, and logistics support for the KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling tanker. Originally sourced through a May 2020 solicitation seeking potential suppliers with expertise in providing spare parts for the KC-46 aircraft, the contract has a shared ceiling value of $1.894 billion and is set to remain active through September 30, 2027.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently involve the procurement of aircraft components for Travis Air Force Base and Tinker Air Force Base, with typical delivery order values ranging from approximately $13,000 to $15,095,133. Prime contractors frequently include Boeing, Collins Aerospace, Davenport Aviation Inc., Source One Spares LLC, and VC Displays, Inc., representing a mix of large aerospace manufacturers and small businesses. No set-aside designations have been used for these awards, indicating full and open competition. The delivery orders are consistently structured as firm-fixed-price contracts with performance periods typically extending 12-24 months. Notably, several task orders support Foreign Military Sales, particularly for Israel, demonstrating the contract's flexibility in serving both domestic and international military logistics requirements.
