About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is conducting market research through a Request for Information (RFI) for the development, delivery, and support of two Virtual Maintenance Trainers (VMTs) for the E-7 Wedgetail aircraft, with responses due December 6, 2026. No set-aside is used, and the RFI is for planning purposes only and is not a formal request for proposals. The notice description lists only the two VMTs, but the attached RFI's Government File summary adds one Operational Flight Training (OFT) device and a Training System Support Center (TSSC). The TSSC operates at Tinker Air Force Base. The summary states that device development is estimated to start in Fiscal Year 2027 and that the Government anticipates a developmental award around the third quarter of FY2027, followed by three one-year Contractor Logistics Support option periods. Contract line items may use Firm Fixed Price, Fixed Price Incentive Firm, Cost Plus Fixed Fee/Cost Plus Incentive Fee, and Cost Reimbursable structures. Requirements include VMTs with interactive 3D representations of hardware removal, replacement, familiarization, and maintenance tasks; an OFT at full Level D equivalent specifications compliant with CFR Part 60 and ARASQ standards; delivery of all data with unlimited rights; an Associate Contractor Agreement with the E-7A original equipment manufacturer; SIMCERT Level-D support; System Integration Lab security; SCI clearances for personnel; and OPSEC and cybersecurity compliance. The RFI requests technical summaries, cost and schedule estimates with long lead items, subcontracting and small business utilization plans, integration site descriptions, and analysis of impacts from separating the OFT and VMT acquisitions. No incumbent is named, and no industry day is listed.
