About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command (Air Force Sustainment Center) has awarded a sole-source five-year requirements contract to Ametek Inc., Wilmington, MA (CAGE 97424) for repair of B-1B torque motors, with a funding range exceeding $750,000 and not exceeding $15 million. The award (contract FA811726DB004) became effective December 10, 2026.
The justification cites DAFFARS 5315.501 and rests on Ametek being the only approved qualified source possessing the specialized repair procedures, test equipment, acceptance criteria, diagnostics capability, and trained personnel required for B-1B torque motor work. The Air Force conducted market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis posted April 15, 2025 (closed May 15, 2025 with no competing responses) and reviewed Parts Manufacturer Approval databases; no alternative vendors exist. Qualifying alternate sources would require up to three years through a formal Source Approval Request and Product Evaluation process, creating unacceptable operational delays.
The contract covers repair of two specific torque motor types (National Stock Numbers 6105-01-232-8318 and 6105-01-232-8319), mission-essential subcomponents within B-1B cockpit indicators. The contract structure is a one-year basic period (December 10, 2026 through December 9, 2027) with three one-year options. Repair line items include 50 units per year for NSN 8318 and 60 units per year for NSN 8319, plus No-Fault-Found and Over-and-Above services, expedite fees, and DD 1423 data deliverables. This is a follow-on to contract FA811720D0038 (awarded September 1, 2020; expired December 9, 2026). The contracting office is the Commodity Contracting Section at Tinker AFB, OK (AFSC/PZABA).
