F-15SA Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM)The U.S. Government has issued a follow-up Sources Sought notice for the F-15SA Programmed Depot Maintenance (PDM) program to conduct market research and gather industry feedback for planning purposes. This notice is not a solicitation or guarantee of a contract but seeks input on updated program requirements based on prior industry responses. The program involves maintenance activities critical to flight safety, particularly the UIL inspection, and requires potential contractors to specify the facilities where this work would be performed. The overall program encompasses maintenance for up to 145 F-15SA aircraft, including 82 production units and 63 converted jets, with the first four jets undergoing Validation and Verification (VAL/VER) under the basic contract. The full scope depends on funding availability by the Royal Saudi Air Force and the U.S. Government's decision to exercise contract options. Industry participants are invited to review key program documents, including the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Work Specification (WS), and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) list, and provide feedback on these materials. Responses should include a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) price estimate, comments on intellectual property handling in the PWS or solicitation stages, and identification of required job positions and skill levels for successful program execution. Questions can be submitted at any time for clarification, with updates to the notice provided as necessary. The contracting office overseeing this effort is based at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, and is managed by the Department of Defense agency FA8575 Aflcmc Waqka.
