B-52 OAS/CMI MODS

The B-52 OAS/CMI MODS program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) focused on modifications and sustainment of systems for the B-52 strategic bomber aircraft. Operating under the Major Capability Acquisition (MCA) pathway, this program manages various upgrades and maintenance activities for critical B-52 components including flight control systems, hydraulics, electronics, and structural elements. The program appears to support both modernization efforts and ongoing operational maintenance requirements for the aging bomber fleet.

The contract awards associated with this program primarily consist of firm-fixed-price agreements for specialized aircraft components and repair services. Contract values range from several hundred dollars for individual electronic components to over $1.6 million for major system upgrades such as the ATLAS 2.5 B-52 Phase III Antiskid Upgrade. Typical contract durations span from immediate delivery to approximately three years. While some contracts utilize Total Small Business set-asides, the majority have no set-aside designations. The contracts cover a diverse range of items including mechanical components (servo valves, rotary pumps, actuators), electronic systems (control alarms, indicators), and structural elements (fairings, fuel tanks). Several contracts are executed through delivery orders against established IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity) contracts, suggesting ongoing relationships with key suppliers. The primary contracting agency appears to be the Air Force, with contracts managed through various Air Force contracting offices.
