About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Eglin Air Force Base issued a Justification and Approval (J&A) document on February 6, 2026, authorizing a sole-source contract with The Boeing Company for the production and sustainment of Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP/GBU-57) weapon system components, exceeding $100 million in value. The contract covers production of tail kits and all-up-round (AUR) components, with projected delivery beginning January 10, 2028. The Air Force justified the sole-source award under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) based on Boeing's exclusive 18-year specialized expertise in the weapon system's guidance algorithms, navigation systems, hardware components, specialized test equipment, and proprietary software, determining that no other responsible source could meet agency requirements without unacceptable delays. Following a Sources Sought posted July 1, 2025, that generated eleven responses from various companies, the government's market research analysis determined only Boeing possessed the integrated capabilities required for prime contractor responsibilities. The contract will be funded through FY25 Procurement dollars and utilize both Firm-Fixed-Price and Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract types, with pricing validation through certified cost or pricing data, technical analysis, and Defense Contract Management Agency inputs.
