About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has awarded contract SPRHA1-26-D-0004 to UTC Aerospace Systems on a sole-source basis for Performance-Based Logistics sustainment of wheels, brakes, and related consumables across multiple Air Force aircraft platforms, on September 25, 2026.
The justification cites 10 USC 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.103-1, based on UTC's status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer with exclusive design control, proprietary manufacturing processes, and technical documentation required for wheel and brake components. The acquisition encompasses three separate ten-year increments—Increment 1 covering F-16 and A-10/E-3 wheels and brakes; Increment 2 covering C-5 and C-130 wheels and brakes; and Increment 3 covering F-15 wheels and brakes—each structured as five-year base plus one five-year option. Contracting authority is DLA Aviation's Strategic Acquisition and Programs Directorate at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. A Sources Sought notice posted in September 2015 received two responses: UTC and Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems, with Meggitt expressing interest in the PBL concept but unable to address UTC-specific platforms. Funding will be provided primarily through the Defense Working Capital Fund with provisions for service-provided funding to support depot maintenance and service life extension programs. The Government will conduct market research via Federal Business Opportunities prior to each increment and pursue subcontracting opportunities competitively to the maximum practical extent while incorporating small business subcontracting requirements.
