About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base seeks repair services for the Ammunition Container (NSN: 1005-01-298-2522), a critical component of the F-15E's 20mm M61A1 Gatling gun system responsible for ammunition storage and feeding. This procurement will be conducted as a sole-source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1 authority, with the contract awarded directly to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS), as this contractor is the only source possessing the proprietary technical data and licenses necessary to perform the work. The Government does not own the required technical data, making sole-source procurement essential to prevent critical gaps in combat readiness. The anticipated contract vehicle is a Requirements Indefinite Delivery Contract with a one-year base period, four one-year ordering options, and a six-month extension option. The solicitation is scheduled to be issued on or about April 20, 2026, with proposals due by June 5, 2026, providing potential bidders with advance notice for preparation purposes.
No set-aside designations apply to this procurement, and participation by foreign contractors is expressly prohibited. General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems is identified as the intended contractor for this sole-source award. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify contract value or budget ranges for this Requirements IDC. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 332993 (Ammunition Except Small Arms Manufacturing) and PSC category 1005 (Guns, Through 30mm). The notice was posted on March 27, 2026, with the initial question deadline set for April 20, 2026, providing interested parties with a 24-day window to submit inquiries before the formal solicitation release.
