Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically FA8524 AFSC PZAAA, is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for an Enterprise Sustainment Contract covering repair, spares, and engineering services. This market survey aims to identify potential sources with the expertise and capabilities for a corporate contract renewal. The government anticipates a single-award, ten-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, with an ordering period beginning in FY 2028 and supporting a ten-year period of performance from September 10, 2028, through September 9, 2038. The current prime contractor and OEM for these systems is Northrop Grumman Corporation (NGC). Responses are due by March 9, 2026.
Scope of Work
This RFI seeks to identify sources capable of providing:
- Depot-level repair and/or manufacturing of avionics, electronic warfare, or radar systems.
- Spares procurement for specific items.
- Engineering services related to these systems. Potential sources must demonstrate an approach to acquire or gain legal access to proprietary technical data for spares production, full depot-level repairs, technical support, and program management. The ability to provide fully functional and certified parts and/or repair services that meet or exceed OEM specifications is crucial. An attached "Master List of NSNs" details forecasted repair and spare items from FY28 through FY38.
