Services (Repair, Spares, & Sustaining Engineering) for Corporate Contract

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for repair, spares, and sustaining engineering services for line replaceable units (LRUs) and shop replaceable units (SRUs) currently installed on multiple Air Force platforms. Interested contractors must demonstrate expertise, capabilities, and past experience repairing the specified systems and subsystems, along with the ability to access pertinent technical data required for spares production, repairs, technical support, and contract program management. Key performance objectives include achieving 97% quality on repairs with no more than 3% validated Product Quality Deficiency Reports, 95% on-time delivery for routine orders, and 100% on-time delivery for Surge and MICAP requirements. Contractors must also establish a Quality Management System compliant with AS9100 and implement counterfeit prevention measures per AS5553D. The Response to Information (RFI) submission deadline is March 2, 2026, with this pre-solicitation notice posted on January 30, 2026.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside and represents the Government's acquisition strategy to identify qualified sources prior to formal competition. Raytheon Company (RTX Corporation) is currently the incumbent prime contractor and owns the technical data required for repairs and spares production; interested parties must demonstrate capability to access this technical data and return serviceable items meeting or exceeding manufacturer specifications. The contract is structured as a 10-year award extending through 2036, consisting of a 5-year basic period plus a 5-year option period. The Performance Work Statement identifies 34 National Stock Numbers with best estimated quantities ranging from 1 to 200 units annually across the 10-year contract period, though a specific overall budget or award value has not been disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The requirement encompasses depot-level repair and sustaining engineering support services, including technical analysis, engineering proposals, redesigns, tests, and working group participation provided on an as-needed basis.
