About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file from an Industry Day for Tunner Aircraft Cargo Loaders (ACL) held by the Department of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base on 13 February 2025. The document reveals key details about the potential upcoming contract, including that DRS is the current contract holder, and the new contract will have a similar structure to the Halvorsen contract (mix of Firm Fixed Price and Fixed Price Incentive Fee). The government plans to compete the Tunner requirements as one contract that includes both Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) and overhaul services, with 32 overhauls per year and up to 16 units in the overhaul line simultaneously.
Additional contract details include the government owning the full data package and drawings for the Tunner, which is a military specification (Milspec) asset that last came off the production line in 2004. Parts are currently contractor-owned, with no government bench stock, though some items can be ordered from DLA. The contract length is still under discussion, and the government is open to industry ideas on supporting the requirements. Shipping for domestic moves is funded by the unit, while overseas moves in/out of the overhaul facility are paid through a government-owned Transportation Account Code (TAC), with the contractor responsible for shipping coordination.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
INDUSTRY DAY
13 FEBRUARY 2025
Q1: Who currently has the contract?
A1: DRS
Q2: What type of contract is it?
A2: Same structure as the Halvorsen (mix of FFP & FPIF).
Q3: Does the Government own the drawing package?
A3: Govt owns full data package for Tunner.
Q4: When did the program first start?
A4: The 1990’s – The last Tunner came off the production line in 2004.
Q5: Does the Govt have the data that would tell industry what parks break down sooner than others?
A5: Yes, see attachment 2
Q6: Are there any pieces on Tunner that are differently from Halvorsen?
A6: The annual operating hours are different than Halvorsen. Tunner annual opening hours are 90,000 and Halvorsen is 350,000.
Q7: Is the Tunner Milspec?
A7: Yes, the Halvorsen is a modified commercial asset. The Tunner is strictly for the USAF and DRS is the OEM. The Govt owns the drawings, and they are updated.
Q8: How are the shipping of assets handled?
A8: Same as the Halvorsen side. For CONUS moves, the unit is responsible for funding the movement. For OCONUS moves in/out of the Overhaul facility, those are paid through a government owned TAC. The contractor is responsible for some coordination of shipping, but the payment is Government funded.
Q9: What are the maximum number of Tunners at the facility at one time?
A9: 32 overhauls per year. The current contract states the contractor can have up to 16 in the overhaul line at any given time.
Q10: What would the contract length be? 10-year cycle?
A10: The length of the contract is still being discussed and the number that would be overhauled during that contract would have to be narrowed down.
Q11: Is the Government looking to compete the Tunner requirements as one contract?
A11: Yes, one effort that includes both CLS support and overhaul services. Government is open to ideas as to how industry can support the needed requirements
Q12: Who owns parts support?
A12: Currently parts are contractor owned, and there will be a ramp-up time in a new effort. The Government has no bench stock, but there are a few items that can be ordered from DLA. Currently the requirement is for a contractor to manage, facilitate and maintain spares with the corresponding field support. However, this is under review for the follow-on effort.
