Performance Based Logistics (PBL) for Secondary and Ground-Based Auxiliary Power Systems

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting for Performance Based Logistics (PBL) services covering Secondary Power and Ground-Based Auxiliary Power Systems, specifically targeting Secondary Power and Air Turbine Starters (SPARC) for multiple U.S. Air Force platforms including the A-10, B-1, B-2, C-130J, E-3, F-16, B-52, and F-15. This solicitation (SPRHA1-25-R-1000) was amended on December 17, 2025, to add new Contract Line Item Numbers requiring technical and cost data reporting deliverables. The contract requirements include comprehensive reporting obligations across 24 separate Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) items, encompassing Supply Response Time Performance Reports, Reliability Performance Reports, Engineering Change Proposals, Government Property Inventory Reports, and Cost and Software Data Reporting (CSDR). These data submissions are required at varying frequencies—monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, and annually—with reports directed to the USAF Program Manager, DLA Contracting Officer, and OSD Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation office. The proposal deadline is July 31, 2026, and the contract will be evaluated based on the contractor's ability to meet performance-based logistics standards and comply with comprehensive data reporting and cost accounting requirements.

This procurement utilizes no set-aside designations and represents a 10-year performance-based logistics contract with base years one through five and option years six through ten, reflecting an extended sustainment commitment through July 2038. The identified incumbent contractor is Honeywell International Inc.'s Aerospace division, which currently manages similar CSDR reporting obligations across the specified aircraft platforms. While specific award values are not disclosed in this solicitation notice, the comprehensive scope spanning multiple major weapons systems and a decade-long performance period indicates a substantial contract value. The place of performance is located in Utah, USA, where DLA Aviation maintains its contracting offices in Ogden. Contractors bidding on this opportunity must demonstrate capability in managing complex, multi-platform supply chain operations, maintaining rigorous cost accounting standards, and delivering detailed performance metrics and technical data throughout the contract period.
