FA822024RB007 DRAFT: Avionics Sustainment Support Program (Special Notice)
Description:
The Government plans to award a single-award IDIQ contract for the T-38C Avionics Sustainment & Support Program (ASSP) Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) Program. The contractor will be accountable for CLS responsibilities for Contractor Operated and Maintained Base Supply (COMBS), systems engineering, hardware and software upgrades, courseware revision and maintenance, and program management services in support of the T-38C Avionics System.
CLS services are required for an estimated 442 T-38C aircraft located at five (5) main operation bases and three (3) satellite sites. CLS services contractor shall provide a full spectrum of transparent Supply Chain Management (SCM) services to support safe, flyable aircraft to meet users’ daily flight schedule consistent with Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial sector best practices in procuring, producing, and delivering products and services to customers. These SCM activities include managing supply and demand, sourcing parts, assembly, disposal, warehousing and inventory tracking, order entry and order management, distribution across all channels, and delivery to the customer. Contractor shall use standard DoD Condition Codes. Primary sustaining engineering is accomplished as Block Upgrades to the system software, firmware and hardware as needed.
The CLS contract will support the T-38C Flight Training System which provides student pilots with training in a high-altitude, supersonic jet aircraft as a transition from initial flight trainers to high performance United States Air Force (USAF) operational aircraft. Also supports Air Education & Training Command (AETC) T-38C aircraft for Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT), Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT), Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF), Euro-NATO Joint Jet IFF (ENJJIFF), and Pilot Instructor Training (PIT) for the USAF and ENJJPT programs. Additionally, the United States Navy (USN) and the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) use the T-38C for flight test programs and test pilot training.
The Air Force employs a two-level maintenance concept for T-38C Avionics System support and sustainment. The first level, flight line maintenance, which is the responsibility of the Government, includes identification and removal of faulty equipment, obtaining and installing serviceable equipment, and operational checkout. The second level, which is the responsibility of the Contractor, involves maintenance and repair of faulty equipment.
Systems engineering and program management services involve recording, monitoring, and analyzing equipment failures and providing recommendations to maintain or improve aircraft readiness levels. Additionally, a Block Upgrade process may be accomplished. The Block Upgrade process enables a system engineering approach to upgrade aircraft and Aircrew Training Device (ATD) avionics systems and associated courseware, and to keep them viable in a changing world.
The Government intends to award one 5-Year base with one 5-Year option Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract. Award will be made on the basis of “best value” utilizing tradeoff source selection procedures. Tradeoff considerations will be between Past Performance and Price among those Offerors who have been determined technically acceptable. The Past Performance factor is significantly more important than Price. The Government intends to award without discussions but reserves the right to conduct discussions at its discretion. Anticipated award date is Jan 2026. The base and optional ordering period is anticipated to be Jan 2026 to Jan 2036, with an additional optional performance/delivery period from Jan 2036 to Jan 2037. Offerors are expected to submit offers electronically in response to the solicitation expected to be posted Dec 2024.

GENERAL SCOPE:
The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center anticipates a potential requirement for military construction (MILCON) of a Sentinel Utility Corridor at FEW AFB missile fields located within Wyoming (WY), Colorado (CO) and Nebraska (NE). This requirement is anticipated to be accomplished as a design-bid-build (DBB) project delivery method. The project execution window is currently anticipated between 2026-2029.
This is a mission-critical effort to install/construct an estimated 1600-2000 miles of utility corridors. This project may include installation of conduits (trenching, boring, direction drilling), communication lines, construction of pull vaults and manholes, and boring under roadways, rivers, railways, etc. and the purchase/installation of the communications media. All facilities and utility systems will be permanent construction in accordance with applicable Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria, including but not limited to 1-200-01, General Building requirements and 4-010-01 Antiterrorism/Force Protection requirements. Additionally, the Utility Corridor will be equipped with water intrusion/control measures. Additional information about the program can be found in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) which is located here: https://www.afgsc.af.mil/Sentinel/Environmental-Impact-Statement/
In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.204(v), the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for the potential project is over $500,000,000.
The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction. The small business size standard for the NAICS, as established by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is $45,000,000 annual revenue. The Product Service Code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be Y1NZ, Construction of Other Utilities.

Original Descripton with updated reply date is below. . .
This Sources Sought Notice is being issued for informational purposes only as market research to determine the availability, capability, and interest of firms for a potential Government requirement. This is not a request for proposal. It does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not offers and the Government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement. No funds are available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is strictly voluntary. Responses will be used to determine potential acquisition strategies, understand current market capabilities, and to gain knowledge of potential sources.
GENERAL SCOPE:
The Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center anticipates a potential requirement for military construction (MILCON) of a Sentinel Utility Corridor at FEW AFB missile fields located within Wyoming (WY), Colorado (CO) and Nebraska (NE). This requirement is anticipated to be accomplished as a design-bid-build (DBB) project delivery method. The project execution window is currently anticipated between 2026-2029.
This is a mission-critical effort to install/construct an estimated 1600-2000 miles of utility corridors. This project may include installation of conduits (trenching, boring, direction drilling), communication lines, construction of pull vaults and manholes, and boring under roadways, rivers, railways, etc. and the purchase/installation of the communications media. All facilities and utility systems will be permanent construction in accordance with applicable Department of Defense Unified Facilities Criteria, including but not limited to 1-200-01, General Building requirements and 4-010-01 Antiterrorism/Force Protection requirements. Additionally, the Utility Corridor will be equipped with water intrusion/control measures. Additional information about the program can be found in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) which is located here: https://www.afgsc.af.mil/Sentinel/Environmental-Impact-Statement/
In accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 236.204(v), the Government currently estimates the magnitude of construction for the potential project is over $500,000,000.
The North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be 237130 Power and Communication Line and Related Structures Construction. The small business size standard for the NAICS, as established by the U.S. Small Business Administration, is $45,000,000 annual revenue. The Product Service Code for the potential requirement is anticipated to be Y1NZ, Construction of Other Utilities.
If there is a reasonable expectation that at least two (2) responsible small business concerns under this NAICS can provide the anticipated services at fair market prices, the Contracting Officer is required to set the acquisition aside for small business concerns. If competition is set-aside for small businesses, Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, requires that general construction small business Contractors self-perform at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the cost of the contract, not including the cost of materials. If no set aside is made and the requirement is competed with full and open competition, and the awarded Contractor is not a small business, the Contractor will be required to self-perform the percentage of work identified in the solicitation under FAR 52.236-1, Performance of Work by the Contractor.
Contractors with the skill, capabilities, workload capacity, and ability to obtain bonding to complete the project described above (either through self-performance and/or Subcontractor management) are invited to provide capability statements to the primary point of contact listed below. Since information received from this sources sought synopsis will be used to make acquisition decisions, both small businesses and other than small businesses are encouraged to submit Capability Statements.
