About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center has issued a sole source justification for Technical Engineering Services to support the C-5M aircraft fleet through specialized engineering investigations, analyses, deficiency resolution concepts, and proof-of-concept development. The contract has been awarded exclusively to Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Corporation (CAGE Code 98897) based in Marietta, Georgia, as the Original Equipment Manufacturer, utilizing the FAR 6.302-1 authority for "Only One Responsible Source" since no other supplier can satisfy the agency's specific requirements. The procurement establishes a five-year Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with multiple pricing arrangements including Firm Fixed Price, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, and Cost Reimbursement No Fee structures to support critical programs such as the Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP), Functional Systems Integrity Program (FSIP), and Corrosion Prevention and Control Program (CPCP). Market research confirmed that only the incumbent contractor possesses the unique technical data rights, historical knowledge, and specialized experience necessary to maintain operational readiness of the C-5M fleet through technical data package reconstruction and engineering support services. The contract was awarded on September 15, 2025, with an anticipated value of approximately $XX million, though the specific dollar amount has been redacted from available documentation.
Notice text
This acquisition is SOLE SOURCE to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Lockheed, 86 South Cobb Drive, Marietta, GA 30063-0001, CAGE Code Martin Aeronautics Corporation 98897.
The contract action was not awarded competitively nor was it fixed price- it warded using Other Than Full & Open Competition as prescribed by FAR 6.302-1, Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This action will result in the award of a Indefinite Delivery- Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) that will have a 5-year Period of Performance (PoP) with Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF), Cost Reimbursement No Fee (CRNF), and Not Separately Priced (NSP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).
The purpose of the Technical Engineering Services (TES) Contract is to continue service by performing engineering investigations and analyses, formulating deficiency resolution concepts, designing proof-of-concepts, and laboratory and on- and off-aircraft testing. This is accomplished through early identification of potential or existing structural and functional problems, analyses on mitigation of these deficiencies and, if required, the development of replacement/improvements of critical elements. The tasks covered are for the engineering efforts on systems, products, or materials required to resolve technical or supportability deficiencies revealed in the operational service of the C-5M fleet. This requirement provides the continuation of technical and engineering services to include, but not limited to, performing engineering investigations and analyses, formulating deficiency resolution concepts, and designing proof of concepts and prototypes. Areas to receive engineering support unique to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) within the Performance Work Statement include but are not limited to Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP), Functional Systems Integrity Program (FSIP), and Corrosion Prevention and Control Program (CPCP), as well as Modernization Sustaining Services. Technical Data Sustainment (TDS) is limited to acquiring historical technical data and rights on a case-by-case basis to support current and future sustainment of the C-5M. The TDS data requests are primarily identified in response to Engineering Technical Assistance Requests where gaps are identified in the Technical Data Package (TDP) baseline that should have been delivered under the original production contract but were either missed, incomplete, illegible, or lost by the Government prior to establishing a digital baseline/repository for the C-5M.
Awarded contract FA8525-25-D-B002 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2025-09-15.
