About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base anticipates soliciting a five-year Total Small Business set-aside contract for Special Operations Forces C-130 technical data management, development, and AC-130J provisioning support, with RFI responses due by 5:00 PM EST on October 30, 2026 and final solicitation planned for January 2027. The contract comprises one 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods, priced firm-fixed-price under NAICS 541330. Scope covers technical writing and Technical Order development and revision for AC, MC, and HC variants, configuration management, engineering services, and AC-130J-only provisioning, including spare, repairable, and consumable recommendations, SMR code recommendations, and provisioning conference participation. Anticipated workload is approximately 3,000 technical data pages per ordering period, with performance at the contractor's facility. Configuration data tasks require no security facility clearance, and no classified work, FCL, or DD Form 254 is involved. Contractors must hold CMMC Level 2 (self-assessed or third-party certified), active and registered in SPRS before award for the prime and applicable subcontractors. Performance thresholds allow no more than one rejection per deliverable, three total rejections per contract year, and two late deliverables per contract year. Per the November 3 Q&A, the Integrated Master Schedule is the only required program management deliverable. The Technical Manual Contract Requirements package, including quantities, authoring tools, and delivery formats, releases with the final solicitation. Contractors furnish all material, tools, and equipment except Government-furnished items. Teaming is encouraged, and the Government reimburses no response costs. Points of contact are Program Manager Catherine Revell, Procuring Contracting Officer Brittney Lightsey, and Contract Specialist Rebecca Armstrong.

***EDIT***  RFI questions and responses provided as an attachment.

The Government is conducting market research to identify capable small-business sources with the expertise, capabilities, and relevant experience to provide technical manual development and revision, technical data management, configuration management support, engineering support services, and AC-130J-only provisioning support for Special Operations Forces (SOF) C-130 aircraft (AC, MC, and HC). AC-130J provisioning support includes; identification and recommendation of spare, repairable, and consumable material requirements; and support for provisioning conferences and Government-approved Source, Maintenance, and Recoverability (SMR) code recommendations.

The Government is considering an acquisition strategy consisting of a five-year technical data contract, including one 12-month base period and four 12-month option periods.

The contractor would provide technical writing and technical data development support for incorporation into subsequent Technical Order (TO) revisions and updates.

The contractor would provide configuration management support, including the policies, procedures, techniques, and tools necessary to:
• Evaluate proposed changes;
• Maintain configuration status accounting;
• Track and document changes; and
• Incorporate approved changes into TOs in accordance with applicable requirements.

The contractor would provide engineering services, as required, to review, compile, and develop authorized source data into technical data suitable for Government review and approval.

The contractor would provide AC-130J-only provisioning support to identify and recommend spare, repairable, and consumable material requirements necessary to support system operation and sustainment; recommendation of SMR codes for Government approval, and participation in AC-130J provisioning and configuration guidance conferences.

The contractor would furnish all material, support equipment, tools, and services necessary to perform the required technical data development, technical manual revision, configuration management, and engineering support services, except for items expressly identified as Government-furnished. The contractor would be responsible for providing, utilizing and maintaining, all support equipment and/or software required at their facility or a subcontractor’s facility.

The Government currently possesses a specification-control drawing for certain components within the anticipated requirement. The drawing is not a manufacturing (“build-to”) drawing. Lockheed Martin possesses the complete technical data package for the applicable part(s), and the Government does not currently have authority to release, purchase, or provide access to the complete package.

Respondents are advised that participation in this market research effort does not guarantee participation in any future solicitation or contract award. The Government will not reimburse respondents for costs incurred in preparing or submitting responses to this RFI.
