The government seeks contractors capable of providing comprehensive Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for electronic warfare systems, including Program Management, Depot Repair, Logistics Management, Material Support, Engineering Services, and Business Management. Contractors must possess personnel with Secret security clearances, operate as independent Integrated Product Teams, and maintain capabilities to catalog, store, and ship classified parts worldwide. Only U.S. contractors are eligible for participation, with foreign contractors explicitly excluded from consideration. The RFI response deadline is close of business on Friday, October 31, 2025, with submissions required to Alexander Katsekis and Daniel Daniels at their Air Force email addresses.

This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to full and open competition among qualified U.S. contractors. The contract scope encompasses support for multiple specialized electronic warfare systems including QRC 81-01, ALQ-188, USM-642, GLM 10, and HARM Targeting System Test Set across 13 different Mission Design Series and more than 300 installations. The government's proposed acquisition strategy involves a five-year contract structure beginning in fiscal year 2027, consisting of one base year followed by four option years. No specific budget ranges or award values are disclosed in the RFI documentation. The government emphasizes that participation in this market research does not guarantee inclusion in future solicitations or contract awards, and response expenses will not be reimbursed.
