About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center awarded an $11,012,563.98 sole-source contract to Thomas Instrument for the overhaul of C-5 Galaxy aircraft trailing edge flap gearbox assemblies. The contract, designated FA8538-25-D-0011, covers the repair and overhaul of 20 different gearbox assembly variations with 10 units per line item, totaling 200 gearbox assemblies across various National Stock Numbers. This is a two-year firm-fixed-price requirements contract running from April 2025 to April 2027, structured with a one-year basic ordering period and one-year option period. The gearboxes are safety-critical components that transmit rotational input to flap actuators on the C-5 Galaxy aircraft, and Thomas Instrument was selected as the sole qualified vendor due to the unique military-specific design requirements and their existing qualification status for these specialized aircraft components.
