About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Robins Air Force Base is seeking to procure production, support, and retrofit services for Raytheon Corporation's proprietary Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) replacement components for the Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) Sensor HC-130J and associated subsystems (AN/AAS-54) used by Special Operations Forces/Personnel Recovery units. This sole source requirement encompasses retrofit kit development, production line establishment, unit production, repair services, initial spares, transportation, and related materials and services necessary to complete the retrofit effort. The procurement will utilize Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF), and Cost Reimbursement No-Fee (CRNF) pricing arrangements and will follow FAR Part 15 "Contracting by Negotiation" procedures. The applicable NAICS code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 1,350 employees. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 16, 2025, with a deadline for responses by January 15, 2026, and interested parties may submit capability statements or proposals despite the sole source designation in accordance with FAR 5.207(c)(16)(ii).
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is identified as a sole source requirement for Raytheon Company (CAGE: 96214). However, the Government is accepting capability statements and proposals from all responsible sources per federal acquisition regulations. The resulting contract will be structured as a 10-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) agreement with a basic 5-year period consisting of five annual ordering periods, plus an optional 5-year extension for five additional annual ordering periods. The contract will include supplies and spares to be shipped via traceable means to locations specified in Appendix B at Robins Air Force Base. This market research update is a follow-on action based on a Request for Information previously posted on SAM.gov on October 11, 2023, and the Government's subsequent market analysis determined that only Raytheon Corporation possesses the proprietary capability to fulfill this specific requirement.
