The contract structure includes a base period from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026, followed by four additional one-year option periods extending through November 2030. Performance will occur at Randolph Air Force Base, Texas, with mechanics working day shifts from 0530-1600 hours in support of depot-level maintenance operations for T-38 Talon aircraft.
