About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center will host a KC-135 Collaboration (CO-OP) In-Person Industry Day on April 8-9, 2025, at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. This special notice announces an opportunity for industry partners to engage directly with the KC-135 Program Office about mission requirements, acquisition timelines, and program specifications. The event will include both unclassified and classified portions, with a focus on providing comprehensive information about the KC-135 aircraft program. Interested companies are invited to participate in a structured engagement that includes informational briefings and one-on-one sessions with government representatives. The event is designed to facilitate collaboration and gather feedback from potential contractors and industry stakeholders.
Contractors must submit a registration form by March 28, 2025, at 1600 CST, with a limit of three attendees per company. Participating firms are required to provide company details including name, address, CAGE Code, and business classification (such as small business, woman-owned, HUBZone, or service-disabled veteran-owned). Companies must indicate whether they intend to participate as a prime or subcontractor and submit a DISS visit request using the SMO Code TE1MFPBP6. One-on-one sessions will be limited to 30 minutes and are intended for substantive discussions about program requirements rather than marketing. The government will post all questions and answers on SAM.gov after the event, ensuring transparency for companies unable to attend. While attendance is voluntary, the event presents a significant opportunity for contractors to gain insights into potential KC-135 program collaboration and future acquisition strategies.
