About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base issued a sole-source Justification and Approval (J&A) on March 31, 2026, for the establishment of an organic, depot-level maintenance and repair capability for the Engine Fuel Hydraulic Display (EFHD) system on F-15EX aircraft. The contract, awarded to Astronautics Corporation of America as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement, encompasses EFHD hardware procurement, technical data rights, engineering support, specialized test equipment, test program sets, interface test adapters, and comprehensive depot activation services over a three-year base ordering period with one additional year option. The Air Force justified the sole-source award to Astronautics under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on the conclusion that no other responsible source exists, as Astronautics is the Original Equipment Manufacturer possessing exclusive proprietary technical data, source code, specialized engineering expertise, and manufacturing knowledge necessary to perform the required services. The justification was supported by extensive market research consisting of two separate Requests for Information conducted between May and December 2025, both confirming the absence of viable alternative sources. The government intends to acquire technical data package rights and licenses as part of this contract to enable future competition and establish a government-owned organic repair capability staffed with trained, certified personnel, while maintaining ongoing market surveillance for emerging competitors post-contract completion.
