About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research through this Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified contractors capable of providing engineering services for the F-15 Maintenance Testability Analysis Program. The government seeks technical expertise and engineering staff to implement hardware and software updates, support F-15 production, and perform modifications necessary to maintain and improve the reliability and maintainability of F-15 peculiar avionics systems. Potential contractors must maintain a Secret-level security clearance and demonstrate capabilities in engineering investigations for Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDR), Material Improvement Programs (MIP), system-level maintenance analysis, parts qualification testing, Test Program Set re-host analysis, logistics/engineering studies, and vertical testability analysis. The government will evaluate responses based on technical expertise, capabilities, experience, and qualifications to meet these requirements. Contractors must submit responses to the Contractor Capability Survey (Parts I and II) by the deadline of March 18, 2026, via email to Daniel Gochenaur (daniel.gochenaur.4@us.af.mil) and Lauren Mitchell (lauren.mitchell.6@us.af.mil).
This procurement includes no small business set-aside, and the current sole-source contractor is NGC, which has held the most recent contract awarded in 2021 under GSA Contract Number GS-00F-128CA, continuing through FY26. The expected contract structure comprises a 3-year base term with a 1-year basic period plus two 1-year ordering periods, with on-site contractor personnel required at Warner Robins Air Force Base where the government will provide computers and work stations. No specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in this market research phase. The government emphasizes that this is a service contract with no manufacturing or data ownership involved, and that government assets are not available for reverse engineering or personnel training by other companies. Small businesses, joint ventures, and teaming arrangements are encouraged to respond, and participation in the survey does not guarantee future contract awards.

Request For Information
F-15 Maintenance Testability Analysis Program
This service is sole source to NGC. There is no manufacturing or data to own from this contract since it is a service contract. The government does not have assets available to provide to another company for reverse engineering or training of personnel on these systems. This requirement is being considered for a stand-alone contract with NGC.
PLEASE SEE ATTACHED FULL RFI AND SURVEY
The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources that possess the technical expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet qualification requirements to implement hardware and software updates to the F-15 Maintenance Testability Analysis Program components. The potential source must maintain a clearance at the Secret level. These services include providing the technical expertise and engineering staff necessary to implement the hardware and software updates, F-15 production support, and modifications necessary to maintain and improve the Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) of the F-15 peculiar avionics. This acquisition will continue a contractor sustainment effort that corrects system level deficiencies. The contractor sustainment effort provides the technical expertise and engineering staff necessary to implement the hardware and software updates, F-15 production support, and modifications necessary to maintain and improve the Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) of the F-15 peculiar avionics. Specifically, this includes engineering investigations in support of Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDR) and Material Improvement Programs (MIP) for the F-15 aircraft peculiar avionics. Additionally, the contractor support includes performing system level maintenance analysis, part’s qualification testing, Test Program Set (TPS) re-host analysis reviews, logistic/engineering studies, vertical testability analysis, and engineering investigations for the Government. The Government has determined the most efficient method to accomplish the requirements is to place contractor personnel on-site within the facility that houses the F-15 Peculiar Systems Maintenance Testability Analysis Program (MTAP).
Samples will not be provided for supplier to evaluate. The Government will supply computers and work stations for the contractor located on Warner Robins AFB.
Contractors/Institutions responding to this market research are placed on notice that participation in this survey may not ensure participation in future solicitations or contract awards. The government will not reimburse participants for any expenses associated with their participation in this survey.
This is currently a sole source acquisition to NGC. The most recent contract was awarded to NGC in 2021 on GSA Contract Number GS-00F-128CA. Our current acquisition strategy is a five-year Requirements Contract (basic plus four one-year ordering periods) and will continue through FY26.
As stated, this service is currently sole sourced to NGC. There is no manufacturing to be done nor data to own from this contract since it is a service contract. The government does not have assets available to provide to another company for reverse engineering or training of personnel on these systems. This requirement is being considered for a stand-alone contract with NGC.
This RFI is conducted in accordance with FAR 15, 52.215-3, Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes:
Request for Information or Solicitation for Planning Purposes (Oct 1997)
