About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is seeking Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) and software management services for the AC-130J Precision Strike Package (PSP). The procurement encompasses Field Service Representative labor, engineering support, program management, travel, spare parts, repairs, and emergency support services for systems that currently lack organic DoD maintenance support and published technical orders. Key contract requirements include troubleshooting and Organizational Level maintenance and repair of the PSP and Government Furnished Equipment at host aircraft locations, shipping and receiving of repairable assets, and providing technical reviews and recommendations on system deficiencies. The contract will be awarded on a sole-source basis to Sierra Nevada Corporation in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 12, 2026, with a deadline for questions on March 27, 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is designated as a sole-source award to the incumbent contractor, Sierra Nevada Corporation (CAGE 8X691), which currently provides these specialized support services. The contract will be structured with one basic ordering period from September 30, 2026, through September 29, 2027, followed by four optional one-year ordering periods, extending potential contract performance through September 2031. While the pre-solicitation notice does not specify the overall contract value or budget range, the scope of services indicates a comprehensive support program requiring sustained technical expertise and field presence at multiple host aircraft locations. The specialized nature of the AC-130J PSP systems, combined with the absence of existing technical documentation and trained organic personnel, underscores the criticality of this logistics support function to maintaining system availability and operational readiness.
Notice text
This effort is for the Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for the AC-130J Precision Strike Package (PSP) Software. Sole source award will be made to the Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC), CADE 8X691, in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii). The PSP is comprised of numerous systems in unique configurations for which there are no existing DoD organic maintenance support and no published technical orders. Therefore, CLS is required to maintain these systems until verified maintence technical orders can be published and organic personnel trained. SNC will be responsible for performing CLS and providing supporting labor at host aircraft locations. This responsibility requires troubleshooting and Organizational Level (O-Level) maintenance/repair of the PSP and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) on the host aircraft and shipping/receiving repairable assets in order to minimize costs and maximize system availability. The services sought to meet the system support requirement include Field Service Representative (FSR) labor, engineering support, program management, travel, spares and repairs, other direct costs, emergency support services, and data, as required. The FSR support includes providing technical reviews and advice on any and all technical system/equipment/training issues. FSRs also provide recommended corrections to deficiencies in systems, equipment and training, and input into the material management processes including provisioning and spares distribution.
DELIVERY SCHEDULE: One (1) basic ordering period from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2027, plus four (4) one (1) year ordering periods.
