E-3 Avoinics Sustaining Engineering

The Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Tinker Air Force Base seeks to procure recurring and non-recurring engineering services to support sustainment of avionics systems for E-3 aircraft. Services include responding to engineering inquiries, maintaining data repositories, supporting depot maintenance, and delivering technical data, software updates, and engineering products. The requirement involves specialized expertise in avionics systems engineering. The effort will be sole-sourced to Rockwell Collins, Inc. due to its incumbent experience as the original equipment manufacturer. The period of performance is two years consisting of one base year and one option year, with an additional six-month option period.

The solicitation utilizes NAICS code 541330 for engineering services and PSC code R425 for aircraft maintenance and repair services. As the requirement involves specialized avionics engineering expertise, no set-aside designation will be applied. As the incumbent sole-source awardee, Rockwell Collins is identified as the contractor best positioned to fulfill the technical requirements. The total contract value and individual task order amounts were not specified in the pre-solicitation documents. Recurring engineering services are required on an ongoing basis over the two-year base period and six-month option to support sustainment of the avionics systems on the Air Force's fleet of E-3 aircraft.
