About this opportunity
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida (AFLCMC/EBDP, Penetrator Weapons Branch) plans to award a multiple award IDIQ contract for Next Generation Penetrator (NGP) development through production, and it is releasing a draft solicitation for industry comment, due November 23, 2026. Official solicitation release is anticipated on or about mid-December 2026. The notice uses no set-aside, and foreign participation is not authorized as a prime or subcontractor.

The procurement falls under NAICS 332993 (1,500-employee size standard) and PSC 1325, with a firm-fixed price and/or cost-type basis determined by the contracting officer.

The first delivery order carries a guaranteed minimum quantity awarded concurrently with IDIQ award.
Offerors must submit AS9100 and/or ISO 9001 certification and demonstrate system-level experience with air-to-ground penetrator munitions of 2,000 pounds or greater within the five years preceding solicitation release. Subcomponent development and production experience and lifecycle logistics support in at least two identified areas are also evaluated.
