The Air Force (AF) Air Combat Command (ACC) is responsible for the Organizing, Training, and Equipping (OT&E) activities to satisfy mission and readiness requirements as the AF Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) provider. ACC maintains combat-ready forces for rapid deployment and employment through regional ACC and other Component Major Commands (C-MAJCOM) Air Component Commanders supporting Combatant Command (CCMD) tasks. Competition and combating global threats require the military to possess and constantly obtain significant knowledge of the strategic, operational, and tactical environments to permit coordinated and informed U.S. military operations. To this end, the AF ACC relies heavily on its contractor support to analyze threats, provide training, and bolster the AF ISR program.

Submit price increase proposals within 30 calendar days from the date the Contractor notifies the Government of the revision, supplement, or amendment giving rise to increase in cost of performance; however, the CO may direct immediate implementation and waive the prior approval requirement. Negotiation and/or increased cost approval may take place during or after implementation at the discretion of the CO. Failure to submit a price proposal increase within 30 calendar days of change notification entitles the Government to hold the Contractor to perform IAW such change at no increase to contract price.
