About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base intends to solicit development and delivery of training devices for the E-7 Wedgetail aircraft, with RFI responses due August 26, 2026. This is market research only; no contract will be awarded based on RFI responses and the Government will not reimburse participation costs.
The Government seeks qualified contractors to develop one Operational Flight Trainer meeting Level D equivalent specifications, two Virtual Maintenance Trainers with interactive 3D aircraft representation for hardware removal and replacement training, and one Training System Support Center. All equipment will be located at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with delivery no later than Fiscal Year 2032.
Contract performance commences in the third quarter of Calendar Year 2027, with a three-year production window followed by three one-year Contractor Logistics Support option periods. The Government anticipates mixed contract pricing: Cost Plus Fixed Fee or Cost Plus Incentive Fee for device development and production; Fixed Price Incentive Firm for major modifications and upgrades; Firm Fixed Price for CLS, TSSC operations, and minor modifications; and Cost Reimbursable CLINs for travel and studies.
Contractors must establish an Associate Contractor Agreement with the E-7 Original Equipment Manufacturer by January 2027, maintain System Integration Lab security, comply with CFR Part 60 and Air Force Air Combat and Air Warfare Simulation Qualification standards, and deliver all data including source code.
