J -- Sustaining Engineering Support for Navy C-20 Aircraft

The Naval Air Systems Command plans to award a sustaining engineering and limited depot maintenance contract to Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation for the Navy's C-20 commercial off the shelf (COTS) aircraft. As the original equipment manufacturer, Gulfstream Aerospace possesses the unique expertise, resources, and proprietary data required to carry out repairs that extend beyond the scope of their standard repair manuals. The services will encompass structural, electrical, airframe, and avionics repair dispositions, along with limited depot maintenance activities aligned with proprietary service changes, customer bulletins, and airworthiness directives. This indefinite delivery firm-fixed price contract will be awarded under FAR Part 12, reflecting the acquisition of commercial items, with an estimated value of $25 million. The contract covers a base year and four one-year option periods, providing ongoing support to ensure the aircraft remain airworthy and mission-capable. The contract solicitation was posted by the Naval Air Systems Command office in Patuxent River, Maryland, and further inquiries can be directed to the designated contract specialist.
