The Air Force (AFLCMC at Tinker AFB, OK) is buying a Center Console Refresh for the KC-135 tanker: new fuel system, flight displays, flight computer and autothrottle. It is a very large, long-term single-award contract of about ten years, with no set-aside. Proposals are due 09 Nov 26 at 12:00pm CDT.
Watch out for
- Large, long-term, complex program. Engineering and development (cost-plus) plus production of flight-critical aircraft systems over about ten years is very hard for a small business to take on alone.
- Controlled documents need DD2345. You cannot see key documents until SAM.gov roles are set up and a DD2345 is active, which can take time.
To request access to view-controlled documents on SAM.gov, you must have a role assigned in SAM.gov.
- Many amendments and moved due date. Seven amendments and several due-date changes mean you must work from the conformed solicitation and sign every amendment.
- No set-aside. This is open competition with no small business preference.
