The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is seeking a total small business set-aside contractor to provide worldwide Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for the AN/TMQ-53 Tactical Meteorological Observing System through a four-year indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a six-month extension option, covering fiscal years 2026 through 2031. The effort, classified under NAICS code 541990 with a small business size standard of less than $19.5 million in annual receipts, requires the contractor to sustain all currently fielded TMQ-53 systems in their baseline configuration through comprehensive program management, logistics support including helpdesk and spares management, operational safety and effectiveness analysis, systems engineering, configuration control, obsolescence management, cybersecurity, technical manual updates, and performance data reporting for metrics such as System Availability, Mission Capable rates, and Mean Time Between Failures. The contractor must maintain a 96% Operational Availability globally, with performance deemed acceptable if corrected to that threshold within 10 business days, and must deliver all data and reporting through specified Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs) while adhering to strict packaging, marking, and unique item identification standards per ASTM D3951, MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-130N, and ISPM No. 15. Proposals are due by 20 July 2026 and must be submitted electronically in four volumes with strict page limits, using only unclassified information, and must include a transition plan, staffing plan, program management details, and pricing structured exclusively in a separate Excel workbook. The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous offeror based on technical capability and price, with award not occurring until funds are obligated via individual task orders. The contractor will not be required to travel overseas, and all support will be delivered remotely or from within the United States. The government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation without reimbursement, and all proposals must remain valid for 180 days. Offerors must represent their small business status, submit required identifiers including CAGE, DUNS, and TIN codes, and comply with cybersecurity, payment, and property management clauses including those related to Government Furnished Property and IUID registry updates. Key personnel must have at least two years of continuous relevant experience, and organizational conflicts of interest must be mitigated. Performance will be monitored through the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan and evaluated using the Contractor Performance Assessment
