T-38 Avionics

The T-38 Avionics program is an Acquisition Category III Major Capability Acquisition program within the Department of Defense. The program focuses on the avionics systems and components for the T-38 Talon, a twin-engine supersonic jet trainer aircraft utilized by the United States Air Force. Operating under a Major Capability Acquisition pathway, this program is structured to maintain and upgrade critical avionics and related systems for the T-38 fleet.

Recent contract awards under this program have primarily focused on the remanufacture of T-38 fuel pumps, with the Air Force Sustainment Center serving as the contracting authority. Hydro-Aire Aerospace Corporation's Lear Romec division has emerged as a key contractor, receiving multiple firm-fixed-price delivery orders ranging from approximately $80,000 to $230,000, with performance periods extending into early 2029. These contracts have been awarded without set-aside designations, suggesting full and open competition. The cumulative value of the known delivery orders falls under a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract framework with a potential value of $850,820 over a five-year period.
