The Air Force (AFLCMC at Tinker AFB, OK) wants a contractor to replace and improve the fuel system, flight display system and flight computer in the KC-135 tanker, and to add autothrottle systems. It is a single-award indefinite delivery/quantity contract with a 48-month base period and six 1-year options, projected July 2028 to June 2038. Proposals are due November 9, 2026.
Watch out for
- Very large, complex aircraft systems program. This is an engineering and manufacturing development effort plus production for flight-critical systems, which is far beyond the capacity of most small businesses without teaming.
The program scope also includes the addition of autothrottle systems.
- Controlled documents need DD2345. You cannot see key documents without an active DD2345 certification, which takes time to obtain.
If a DD2345 is not found or is inactive, it must be updated and active before access can be approved
- Cost-type development contract. The development phase is cost-plus-incentive-fee, which requires an accounting system acceptable for cost-reimbursement work.
Cost-Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) for EMD
- Many amendments and shifting due date. Five amendments have been issued and the due date moved from 02 Nov to 09 Nov, so requirements may still change.
Amendment 05 was issued to revised paragraphs 13.5 and 13.14 of the SOW
