About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is seeking a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) sole source contract for Contract Logistics Support (CLS) and unscheduled maintenance/repairs for the Archer Atmospheric Early Warning System (AEWS). The solicitation anticipates awarding the contract directly to North Point Defense Inc. (Cage Code 6KHL9), who is the original system developer. Technical complexity surrounding the Archer system requires that contractors have or obtain specific technical data, software, code, and system details from the original manufacturer. All responsible sources are invited to submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation, though the government emphasizes this is not a formal request for proposal and will not cover any proposal preparation costs. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 11, 2025, with responses due by April 29, 2025, and interested parties can contact Lanette Todd or Captain Andrew Madison for solicitation details.
The contract opportunity is not set aside for any specific business category and falls under the Engineering Services NAICS code 541330. North Point Defense Inc. is positioned as the sole potential contractor due to proprietary system knowledge and technical data rights. The contract will focus on maintaining various configurations of the Archer system across different technologies and manufacturers, with an emphasis on rapid fielding and system sustainment. While specific award values are not disclosed, the 5-year IDIQ structure suggests flexibility in potential contract volume and scope. The procurement is categorized under Product Service Code J059 for maintenance, repair, and rebuilding of electrical and electronic equipment components, indicating a technical and specialized service requirement for complex warning system support.
Notice text
The Government anticipates issuing a new 5 year IDIQ sole source contract to North Point Defense Inc. (Cage Code 6KHL9).
This will be a sustainment contract to provide Contract Logistics Support (CLS) and unscheduled maintenance/repairs on various configurations, technologies, and manufacturers of the Archer Atmospheric Early Warning System (AEWS). The Government does not own the rights to the data for the Archer System. Contractors will need to have, or obtain, the technical data, software, code, or systems from the original developer, North Point Defense Inc. (Cage Code 6KHL9). Due to the nature of the rapid fielding of Archer systems, technical data packages, specifications, engineering descriptions, and purchase descriptions other contractors have been deemed not plausible or economically reasonable. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by the agency.
This is not a request for proposal. The Government is not liable for costs associated with preparing a proposal.
Solicitations will not be made through GPE, for information on how to obtain the solicitation please contact Lanette Todd Lanette.Todd@us.af.mil at or Captain Andrew Madison at Andrew.Madison.6@us.af.mil
