About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Bombers Directorate (AFLCMC/WBD) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is pursuing a sole source contract with TTM Technologies, Inc. for modification of Extended Control Audio Panels (EXCAPS) as part of the B-52 Modernization Program. The contract will be awarded under FAR 6.302-1, which allows for procurement from the only responsible source capable of meeting agency requirements. Interested parties are invited to submit detailed information demonstrating their capability to provide the required services by the May 25, 2025, 3:00 PM EST deadline. Responses should be submitted via email to Lauren VanHook (Contracting Officer) and Cody Chesher (Contract Specialist), with the understanding that submitted information will be treated as informational only and will not constitute a formal proposal. The government reserves the right to use the provided information for assessment of potential alternatives.
The procurement is categorized under NAICS 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code of 1680 for Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components. There is no specific set-aside for this opportunity, and the contract is specifically targeted for TTM Technologies, which uniquely owns the original unit's data and removal tool rights. The anticipated contract award is scheduled for September 2025, with the procurement authority derived from 10 UCS 2304(c)(1). An Ombudsman has been appointed to communicate contractor concerns while maintaining confidentiality, though routine administrative matters should be directed to the Contracting Officer. The government explicitly states that it will not reimburse any costs incurred by potential respondents in preparing and submitting information for this notice.
