About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base awarded an 8-year firm-fixed price contract with economic price adjustments for Mobile Aircraft Arresting Systems (MAAS). The contract consists of a 2-year base period followed by six 12-month annual options and was set aside exclusively for small businesses through competitive trade-off procedures. The MAAS is a deployable aircraft recovery system designed for use at damaged runways or installations where primary arresting systems are non-operational, with each system consisting of two identical mobile units containing BAK-12 rotary friction energy absorbers and all necessary installation components. The contract was awarded to Hydraulics International Inc. in Chatsworth, California, for this critical safety item that requires pre-qualified sources to hold Source Approval Requests due to the specialized nature of the military equipment.
Notice text
The Support Equipment and Vehicles Division at Robins AFB, GA (AFLCMC/WNZ) had a requirement for an 8-year, firm-fixed price (FFP)/fixed price with economic price adjustment (FPEPA), requirements-type contract for the Mobile Aircraft Arresting System (MAAS). The period of performance for this effort will be eight (8) years, consisting of a 2-year Basic and six (6) twelve (12) month annual options.
It was determined that this requirement involved items that have a Critical Safety item and/or Critical Item Application and therefore required sources be pre-qualified in order to propose. To be considered a qualified source, vendors were required to acquire a Source Approval Request (SAR).
The MAAS (NSN: 1710-01-549-9539) is a unique, military deployable asset developed as an expeditionary aircraft recovery system, which can be quickly set up and used to recover tactical aircraft at damaged runways or at installations where primary arresting systems are not in operation. The MAAS consists of two identical mobile units. Each unit houses one Barrier Arresting Kit (BAK)-12 rotary friction energy absorber. The mobile units (i.e. trailers) contain all the basic components of a fixed base arresting system and all the tools and hardware necessary for installation and removal. These units are capable of being transported over land, by sea and through the air.
This acquisition was a competitive, total small business set-aside utilizing trade-off source selection procedures in accordance with FAR 15.101-2 and 15.3 as supplemented by the DoD Source Selection Procedures (Aug 2022) referenced in DFARS 215.300 and the DAFFARS Mandatory Procedures 5315.3 to make an integrated assessment for a best value award decision. Tradeoffs may have been made between past performance and cost/price, with past performance being considered significantly more important than cost/price.
The place of performance for this contract will be at Hydraulics International Inc., Chatsworth, CA.
Awarded contract FA853425D0014 to HYDRAULICS INTERNATIONAL, INC. for 245948631.00 on 2025-09-22.
