Quick Summary

The Department of the Air Force is soliciting proposals for the Next Generation Aerospace Ground Equipment (NGAGE) Multiple Award Contract (MAC) Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). This 10-year contract, with a ceiling of $920 million, aims to establish a base of both large and small businesses to develop and field multi-capable, innovative Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) for global air vehicle launch, recovery, and operations & maintenance (O&M) activities. The contract is for rapid fund execution of new solutions, not long-term sustainment. Proposals are due March 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST.

Scope of Work

The NGAGE IDIQ will modernize, source, acquire, and deliver a broad range of AGE. Key requirements include demonstrated production of multi-capable AGE, experience in Design/Development/Integration/Test/Production of Military Style AGE utilizing Digital Engineering/Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), innovation, hardware/software integration, and digital acquisition/sustainment practices.

Contract Details

  • Contract Type: Multiple Award IDIQ
  • Period of Performance: 10 years (2-year basic + four 2-year options)
  • Maximum Value: $920,000,000
  • Minimum Obligation: $100 per awardee
  • Place of Performance: Robins AFB, GA
  • Set-Aside: Not a specific set-aside for the MAC, but the RFP seeks both large and small businesses. The Government may use fair opportunity exclusions at the order level to maximize small business participation. Small Business Participation is a key evaluation factor.

Submission & Evaluation

Proposals will be evaluated using a "Technically Acceptable" source selection methodology. Key factors include:

  • Technical Rating: Acceptable/Unacceptable, requiring a minimum of two points on the NGAGE self-score matrix (one point each for OEM AGE manufacturing/delivery or design/development, and digital engineering/sustainment data delivery). Two work samples are required within the 30-page limit for Volume II.
  • Small Business Participation: Acceptable/Unacceptable, based on the adequacy of the approach for meeting Small Business Program objectives. Large businesses must submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan.
  • Price Proposal: Evaluated for reasonableness at the IDIQ level; in-depth cost/price analysis will occur at the delivery order level. Proposals must be submitted electronically, with a single combined PDF highly preferred for Technical and Small Business volumes. DD Form 2345 can be emailed simultaneously.
