About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is conducting market research for sustainment and logistical support services for the C-17 Globemaster III fleet. This requirement encompasses providing strategic and tactical airlift capability support to the United States Air Force, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve Command, and Foreign Military Sales partner nations including Australia, United Kingdom, Canada, Kuwait, Qatar, India, UAE, and the NATO Airlift Management Program comprising 12 NATO member-nations. The pre-solicitation seeks to identify sources with the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet worldwide sustainment support requirements for the C-17 weapon system. The responses will be used for market research to support additional phases of the existing contract. The deadline for responses to this sources sought synopsis is August 28, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is associated with an existing Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity contract (FA8526-21-D-0001) that was previously awarded to The Boeing Company using Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR 6.302-1. The current IDIQ contract has a ceiling value of approximately $23.7 billion and was awarded on September 28, 2021, with a duration of 9 years and 8 months. The contract structure includes multiple pricing arrangements: Fixed-Price-Incentive, Firm-Fixed Price, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, Cost-Plus-Incentive-Fee, and Time and Material line items. The contract is organized into three phases, with Phase I already awarded and Option Phase III scheduled to run from November 1, 2027, through October 31, 2030. This market research effort appears to be preparing for future phases or modifications to the existing sustainment contract structure.
