About this opportunity
The Air Combat Command, under the Department of the Air Force, has issued a Special Notice regarding the procurement of Annual Planebook Subscriptions for the USAF EA-37B aircraft. The 355 Contracting Squadron at Davis Monthan Air Force Base intends to award a sole source contract directly to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation for this requirement. This Special Notice invites interested businesses to submit documentation demonstrating their capability to fulfill this need if they believe they can provide the required services. The opportunity was posted on January 23, 2026, with a deadline of February 9, 2026, for interested parties to contact the listed points of contact via email.
The primary objective of this procurement is to secure a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for digital access to critical flight documentation, including Airplane Flight Manuals, Operating Manuals, Master Minimum Equipment Lists, and Performance Charts for the G550 aircraft. The estimated contract value ranges from $750,000 to $15 million. The Air Force justifies the sole source award to Gulfstream because the corporation is the exclusive manufacturer of the G550 aircraft and the only provider of the proprietary G550-OL2A-APP Planebook subscription application, with no authorized resellers currently available. Market research conducted in January 2026 confirmed no alternative sources exist, and compliance with this specific subscription is mandated by Air Combat Command regulations and Air Force manual requirements. Interested contractors must submit their interest and relevant documentation to the designated points of contact by February 9, 2026, at the specified time to be considered for this opportunity.
