About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command intends to award a sole-source contract to Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems for continued sustainment and support of Air Force Special Operations Command training devices, with an estimated total value exceeding $100 million. The contract was awarded on August 6, 2026 (FA8621-26-C-B006).
The justification cites 10 USC 3204(a)(1) authority and rests on the finding that Lockheed Martin is the only responsible source capable of meeting requirements due to its exclusive ownership of proprietary C-130J technical data, software, and aerodynamic flight performance data necessary to maintain training device fidelity. The government conducted extensive market research via two Requests for Information posted to SAM.gov in March and April 2025, which yielded eight respondents; all competitors declined to participate, citing inability to access critical data rights that Lockheed Martin controls.
The contract provides sustainment, modernization, and support for 98 government-owned C-130J training devices across five Mission Design Series variants located at ten Continental United States locations. Services include contractor logistics support, training system support center operations, cybersecurity support, program management, engineering support, configuration management, device software and hardware engineering, quality assurance, and cost-reimbursable travel. The period of performance is seven years with one base year and six option years. The contracting activity is Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/WNS) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The contract will employ firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract types.
