About this program
The Heavy Logistic Support (C-5A) program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) focused on sustaining and modernizing the C-5A Galaxy military transport aircraft. Operating under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway, this program encompasses comprehensive logistics support, technical data management, and structural maintenance of the aircraft platform. The program's scope includes systems modernization efforts such as the Avionics Modernization Program and Reliability Enhancement and Re-Engining Program, along with ongoing sustainment of critical aircraft components and systems.
Contract awards under this program range from small purchases of individual components (as low as $410 for specialized screws) to large-scale engineering and support services valued at over $7.6 million. The Defense Logistics Agency and Air Force Materiel Command are the primary contracting agencies, with work performed at various Air Force bases including Dover AFB and Anderson AFB. Notable contractors include Digitized Schematic Solutions LLC (providing technical data services), DynCorp International LLC (maintenance and logistics support), and various specialized manufacturers of aircraft components. Contract periods typically span from six months to three years, with a mix of firm-fixed-price and cost-plus contract types. While most awards do not carry set-aside designations, some contracts are designated for small businesses, particularly in component manufacturing and overhaul services. Common deliverables include technical order management, engineering analysis, component overhaul services, and manufacture of replacement parts such as fuel system components, heat exchangers, and landing gear assemblies.
