FAAD Support 2026

The Air Force Test Center at Holloman Air Force Base is conducting a sole source procurement for Forward Area Air Defense (FAAD) Command and Control (C2) Systems maintenance and technical support services. The requirement includes on-site technical support for systems manufactured by Northrop Grumman, encompassing software updates, system checkouts and calibrations, functional verification of sensor interfaces and data connectivity, and comprehensive operator and troubleshooting training. The Air Force has determined that only one vendor possesses the specialized capability to deliver these services, as the absence of this critical technical support would prevent the unit from utilizing the system and jeopardize upcoming exercise events. Although this is a sole source solicitation, the Air Force is inviting all responsible sources to submit capability statements, bids, proposals, or quotations for consideration if submitted to Contracting Officer Chuck King at charles.king.42@us.af.mil by April 10, 2026 at 0900 MDT. The Government reserves the right to compete this acquisition based on responses received. The notice indicates an anticipated award date of April 10, 2026.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation and is structured as a sole source award to Intrepid LLC (CAGE: 1VDA4). The requirement spans three phases: initial support during April 12-18, 2026 at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico (five days), with two optional seven-day periods scheduled for June/July 2026 at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, and September 2026 at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. The acquisition will be conducted under Simplified Acquisition Procedures with a large business size standard of $34,000,000.00 and is classified under NAICS code 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance). The firm-fixed price purchase order will be awarded and performed primarily at the designated test locations, with inspection and acceptance occurring at both the destination site and Holloman AFB, New Mexico (DoDAAC F2ETGP, 704 TSS).
