Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force has published a Justification and Approval (J&A) for a sole-source contract to Moog Inc. Space and Defense Group for the repair and refurbishment of P89 Servo Injector Valves for the Minuteman III flight control unit. This is a follow-on, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract, not a solicitation for proposals. The estimated award date is October 2025, with a period of performance from September 2025 to 2026.
Purpose & Justification
This J&A justifies the use of other than full and open competitive procedures for acquiring non-commercial repair/refurbishment services for stage I Minuteman III flight control unit Servo Injector valves (Model 33-114, NSN: 1420-00-973-1170AH). The authority cited is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(iii) - Only One Responsible Source.
Scope of Work
The required services include disassembly, inspection, testing, repair, packaging, and shipping of the specified Servo Injector valves. These services are critical for the Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Booster program maintenance. The delivery schedule requires 10 units per month after contract award.
Contract Details
- Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price (FFP)
- Estimated Award Date: October 2025
- Period of Performance: September 2025 to 2026
- Contracting Activity: AFSC OL:H/PZACA
- Place of Performance: Nibley, UT, United States
Sole Source Rationale
Moog Inc. Space and Defense Group is identified as the only source capable of performing the required repair due to their exclusive possession of unique technical data, specialized tooling, testing equipment, and facilities. The government does not own the necessary data rights, and Moog Inc. has refused to sell them. Reverse engineering the components is estimated to take four years and is deemed impractical.
Additional Notes
This is a follow-on to contract FA8206-20-C-0003, which was also awarded sole source. A Sources Sought Synopsis was posted on FEDBIZOPS on March 20, 2025, which yielded no vendor responses. This requirement will be synopsized in SAM.gov as a notice of contract action. This is not a solicitation for proposals.
