The solicitation, with contract number FA8117-25-R-0013, will be issued on March 21, 2025, with responses due by April 21, 2025. The contract requires repair services for specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs 2995-01-374-0001 and 2995-01-512-4702JY) involving disassembly, analysis, troubleshooting, repair, testing, and related services to return items to serviceable condition meeting original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications. The procurement will use a Firm-Fixed-Price contract type with a base year and four one-year option periods.

The contract is not set aside for any specific business category and is targeted for Hamilton Sundstrand as the sole-source provider. The annual procurement includes 90 units for major repairs of the primary NSN and 10 units for the secondary NSN, with additional contract line items (CLINs) for recalibration, minor repairs, no-fault-found, and beyond economic repair scenarios. Items with unit prices exceeding $5,000 will require Unique Item Identification (IUID) tracking. The contract falls under NAICS category 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with the primary point of contact being Nathan R. Sholund. While specific award value is not disclosed, the multi-year structure and recurring annual quantities suggest a significant procurement investment in maintaining critical KC-135 aircraft electronic control unit components.
