FOM Follow-on RFI

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for the Facilitate Other Maintenance (FOM) Follow-on requirement, seeking potential contractors who can provide staffing for aircraft storage and maintenance operations. The procurement involves managing and maintaining FOM parts and materials for multiple aircraft types including C-130, F-16, F-35, A-10, F-22, and T-38 aircraft at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, and Joint Base San Antonio/Randolph Air Force Base, Texas. Key requirements include receiving, issuing, inventorying, and controlling aircraft parts and materials in preparation for storage, with contractor personnel needing to track parts using specific AMXG forms, verify asset serviceability, and maintain precise inventory records. Personnel working on F-35 and F-22 programs specifically require security clearances, including secret clearance capabilities. The RFI responses are due by noon Mountain Standard Time on Wednesday, September 17, 2025, and must be submitted directly to Shelly Bachison and William Lee at their respective Air Force email addresses. This pre-solicitation inquiry seeks to determine potential vendor capabilities for staffing, with respondents asked to indicate whether they can provide the required staffing or explain any limitations preventing them from meeting the requirements.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. No current incumbents or contractors are specifically identified in the documentation provided. While no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the RFI, the Performance Work Statement indicates significant workload variation across aircraft types with estimated asset removal and assembly days ranging from 20 to 140 days depending on the aircraft model. The staffing requirements vary by shift and aircraft type, with specifications calling for one dock, one building, one day per year, and one shift for each aircraft type listed. The contract will require managing a workforce capable of handling both surge capacity and historical workload demands. Historical workload data suggests substantial operational scope across the six different aircraft platforms, indicating this could be a sizeable procurement opportunity for qualified maintenance and logistics contractors.
