Air Force Subscale Aerial Targets Production and Contractor Logistic Support

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center has awarded a firm-fixed price, sole source contract for the production of BQM-167A subscale aerial targets, contractor logistic support, and peculiar spares. This initiative is managed by the Armament Directorate's Aerial Targets Branch to ensure the availability of threat-representative targets necessary for kill authorizations and lethality testing. These targets are critical for validating the survivability and precision of major aircraft and missile systems before they enter full rate production, satisfying Title 10 requirements. Administered under solicitation FA8678-21-D-0001, the contract supports the Department of Defense's need for evolving weapons systems testing. While the contracting office is located at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, the place of performance is situated in Sacramento, California. The agreement focuses on maintaining a cost-effective supply of targets and timely sustainment to support ongoing warfighter readiness and weapon system lethality.
