About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center is soliciting proposals for Aerospace Ground Equipment/Special Purpose Vehicles (AGE/SPV) repair and support services for the Royal Saudi Air Force F-15 fleet under a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreement. The contract requires comprehensive repair, refurbishment, and replacement services for F-15 ground support equipment at seven in-Kingdom locations, with management of diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages (DMSMS), and strict turn-around-time (TAT) performance targets including 50 days for major powered equipment repairs and 25 days for non-powered equipment. The Government will conduct a multi-gate evaluation process assessing technical acceptability across repair management, DMSMS management, and TAT management, with past performance confidence and cost/price evaluation as approximately equal trade-off factors in the source selection decision. Award will be made to one responsible small business providing the best value proposal, with technical capability evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis without trade-offs. The proposal deadline is 5:00 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time on April 30, 2026, with RFP Amendment 1 issued on March 25, 2026, updating the cost model, relevancy assessment, NSN list, and quality assurance documentation.
This is a 100 percent small business set-aside with no incumbent contractor, representing a new effort supporting approximately 210 F-15 C/D and SA aircraft operated by the Royal Saudi Air Force. The contract structure includes a one-year base period beginning November 2026, with four one-year option periods and a six-month extension option, creating a potential 66-month performance window. The contract combines multiple pricing arrangements including Firm Fixed Price for operations and management, Cost Plus Fixed Fee for repair and return services, and Cost Reimbursable No Fee for facilities and travel, with all repair work required to be performed in-Kingdom in accordance with Saudi Arabian laws and customs. Performance will be executed at four Royal Saudi Air Force locations: King Abdul Aziz Air Base (Dhahran), King Khalid Air Base (Khamis), King Fahad Air Base (Taif), and King Faisal Air Base (Tabuk). Critical subcontractors performing more than 30 percent of overall effort or holding the Saudi Business license must provide past performance evidence, with eligible past performance efforts falling within $2.1M to $7.9M annual contract values and one to two-year periods of performance.
