About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base is seeking a contractor to develop an Aircraft Battle Damage Repair (ABDR) Technical Order for the KC-46A aircraft. The technical order will provide detailed instructions for repairing battle or accidentally damaged aircraft to enable minimal repairs that can return the aircraft to a flyable condition or allow movement to repair facilities. Contractors must submit a 10-page maximum capability package demonstrating technical expertise, experience with similar aircraft, and potential teaming arrangements by February 20, 2025 at 3:00 PM EDT. The manual must be created as a PDF document following MIL-STD-38784 and MIL-DTL-87158 standards, and based on the existing Technical Order 1-1H-39 format. Evaluation will focus on technical capabilities, access to existing technical orders, and potential Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) considerations.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside for small businesses or disadvantaged vendors. The contract falls under NAICS category 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services) and PSC category 7610 (Books and Pamphlets). The government requires delivery of the completed technical order by June 1, 2027, with a focus on creating comprehensive damage limitation tables, superstructure part descriptions, and flight restrictions related to repairs. Contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be considered. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the technical complexity and specialized nature of the project suggest a substantial contract value. The technical order will provide critical guidance for maintaining mission readiness by enabling field-level repairs to the KC-46 aircraft under challenging operational conditions.
