About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, through Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, seeks offers for a firm fixed-price multiaward IDIQ for production of MJU-76/B Thrusted Flare countermeasures for U.S. Government and Foreign Military Sales, with proposals due October 30, 2026. The procurement is other than full and open competition with limited sources under FAR 6.302-1, naming Armtec and Chemring as anticipated sources, though all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, or quotation. No set-aside is used.
Offerors must hold a valid U.S. security clearance of Secret or higher to respond, and classified material must be handled under NISPOM. New sources must complete a qualification package before award, estimated at $200,000 and 360 days of testing, and only United States-based suppliers will be considered except with special Air Force permission. Offerors with prior MJU-76/B or similar flare experience (MJU-71/B, MJU-57/B, MJU-68/B) may request waiver consideration. Place of performance is Utah, with inspection and acceptance at NSWC Crane (Indiana), China Lake (California), and Hill AFB. Items require ISO 9001-2015 quality, with NSN 1370-01-677-6009 and Part Number 201825310.
The contract is a Multiple Award Contract IDIQ with a five-year ordering period (December 2026 through December 2031) and a one-year option period (through December 2032), with an estimated maximum value of $250 million and a $5,000 minimum guarantee for the CLIN 0001 post-award conference. The first delivery order is a buy-to-budget acquisition under 10 USC 2308 totaling $29,615,851.84. The Year 1 affordability cap is $11.85 million for CLINs 0002, 0003, and 0004 at 7,000 units. Offerors above the cap are excluded from DO 1 production splits but still receive the Basic IDIQ. First Article requires 250 units for contractor testing or 120 units for government testing at NSWC Crane within 540 calendar days of award. Delivery runs 12 months ARO for Price Bands One through Three, 18 months for Band Four, and 24 months for Band Five.
Evaluation uses three factors: Factor 1, qualified source status; Factor 2, a plan and technical approach with six subfactors, limited to 25 pages in PDF; and Factor 3, DO 1 price evaluated on Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Both non-price factors must rate Acceptable. DO 1 split percentages range from 50/50 for less than 5% TEP difference to 100/0 for 45% or greater. A DCMA pre-award survey covering ammunition and explosives facilities, including all subcontractor locations, is a condition of award. Amendment FA821326RB0050004 incorporated DFARS 252.225-7961 and updated Price Band 4 and 5 delivery timelines.
