Installation Of Equipment- Aircraft And Airframe Structural Components

PSC Category N015 covers installation of aircraft and airframe structural components, focusing on sophisticated aerospace engineering and equipment modification services. This category encompasses complex technical work related to aircraft systems, particularly involving structural alignments, software development, and infrastructure support for military and international aerospace platforms. The services typically involve advanced avionics, infrared countermeasure systems, and specialized aircraft modification efforts for military and foreign government clients.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category predominantly feature delivery orders from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center, with Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation emerging as the primary contractor. Contract values range from approximately $58,000 to $91.9 million, with performance periods spanning from several months to four years. The awards consistently focus on Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) programs, supporting international military clients including Saudi Arabia, India, Bahrain, and Canada. Contracts are predominantly firm fixed-price or cost-plus-incentive, with no small business set-asides utilized. Performance locations include Rolling Meadows, Illinois, and various international client locations.

While the provided data does not include specific federal contract opportunities, the existing contract awards suggest ongoing requirements for aircraft system installations, software development, field service representative support, and alignment services for military aircraft platforms. The opportunities would likely involve continued development of infrared countermeasure systems, aircraft modification programs, and technical support for international military aviation infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on advanced avionics, software integration, and specialized aircraft system enhancements.
