The KC-46 Support Equipment (KSE) multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a $485 million federal contract vehicle managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) to procure support equipment for the KC-46A Tanker Modernization program. This master IDIQ supports the acquisition and deployment of ground support equipment, display systems, technological components, and ancillary materials needed for the KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling aircraft. The contract facilitates Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements, with current task orders specifically focused on supporting equipment procurement for Israel's military.

The task orders under this vehicle demonstrate a consistent pattern of firm fixed-price delivery orders ranging from minimal funding ($1-$500 initial awards) to substantial procurement contracts approaching $2 million. Frequent prime contractors include AAR Government Services Inc., VC Displays, Inc., Source One Spares LLC, VSE Corporation, and Aeroforge Inc., with performance primarily occurring at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. No small business set-asides have been utilized in the observed task orders, and the delivery orders predominantly support the KC-46A FMS program for Israel, with ultimate completion dates typically extending through 2025-2026. The contract vehicle enables the AFLCMC to efficiently procure specialized support equipment through a pre-qualified pool of contractors, streamlining the acquisition process for critical aerospace and defense technological requirements.
