About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base is seeking logistics and sustaining engineering services for the Trusted Aircraft Information Program Download Station (TADS) and Common Mission Debrief Program (CMDP), which support the F-15 weapons system platform. The contractor will be responsible for spare parts management, firmware and hardware upgrades, technical support, repairs, configuration management, cybersecurity compliance, and inventory control for systems that extract and process flight data from F-15 aircraft. Key qualifications include Special Access Program (SAP) approvals, demonstrated experience with avionics or similar defense systems, quality assurance processes, and repair capabilities with a facility capable of storing up to 50 spare TADS units. Performance metrics include a 30-day turnaround time for standard repairs and 45-day turnaround for complex repairs, with thresholds requiring 95% of repaired assets to pass initial inspection, no more than four late deliveries per contract year, and no more than 10% of repaired assets with validated Product Quality Deficiency Reports in a 12-month period. Responses to the Contractor Capability Survey are due by January 17, 2026, and respondents must possess or obtain a Secret-level security clearance.
This procurement is not subject to any set-aside designation and is open to both large and small businesses, including joint ventures and teaming arrangements. Telspan Data, LLC is identified as the Original Equipment Manufacturer with proprietary data rights to the systems. The contract is structured as a five-year award with an estimated annual requirement of 10 to 30 units for repair and replacement, though specific contract values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC code DA01 (IT and Telecom – Business Application/Application Development Support Services). Respondents are encouraged to submit detailed business information, past project experience, quality assurance processes, and hardware production capabilities, with the understanding that participation in this survey does not guarantee future contract awards.
Notice text
The F-15 Flight Data Recorder (FDR) program was initiated to leverage Inter Range Instrumentation Group (IRIG) 106 Chapter 10 Digital Recording Standard compliant recorders for providing the required data to support mishap investigations, Military Flight Operational Quality Assurance (MFOQA), Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM), Aircraft and Engine Structural Integrity Programs (ASIP/ENSIP), and aircraft development programs and training. The data recorded during flight operations is written to a solid state media device prepared by the CMDP software. After flight, the TADS units provide a download solution to extract the IRIG 106 Chapter 10 files from the flight media, process the data, and transfer the data to end users via Secure File Transfer Protocol. This download is handled by a logic controlled process that provides isolation between circuit board components and external interfaces in order to meet stringent security requirements. TADS and CMDP support the F-15 weapons system platform.
