About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center has issued a Limited / Sole Source Justification Notice for C-5 Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) Maintenance and Engineering Support. The contract, awarded to an undisclosed vendor, covers maintenance and configuration of SIL systems to support C-5 AMP/RERP modified aircraft, including hardware and software simulations for testing and support purposes. The 12-month performance period runs from May 15, 2025, through May 14, 2026, with the SIL required to be available for 80 hours of operation per 30-day calendar period. Market research confirmed the incumbent vendor is the sole designer, developer, and Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of the C-5 aircraft, possessing proprietary software, technical data, and unique test equipment. The justification emphasizes the critical nature of the contract in preventing potential grounding of C-5 aircraft by 2027, with the government planning to establish a long-term strategic partnership to maintain C-5M expertise through the program's projected continuation until 2040.
