AI Contract Overview
The contract solicits proposals for the KC-135 Center Console Refresh (CCR) Revision 2 program, focused on modernizing and replacing obsolete avionics components on the KC-135 aircraft, specifically the Fuel System, Flight Display System, Flight Computer, and integration of an autothrottle system. The effort encompasses Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD), Production, and Deployment phases with a projected performance timeline from August 2027 through August 2037. It is structured as a single award indefinite delivery/quantity contract featuring a 48-month base period plus six one-year options, using a Cost-Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) contract type for EMD and Firm Fixed Price (FFP) for production and deployment. The contracting office is AFLCMC/WLTK Legacy Tankers at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, with Brandi Shelden as the primary procurement contracting officer and Catina Baker as the buyer. Proposals require submission in four volumes—technical, past performance, price, and contract representations—via the PIEE portal by September 15, 2026. The evaluation process employs a trade-off source selection where technical acceptability prerequisites must be met before considering enhancement beyond requirements, technical risk, past performance, and price, with the first three holding significantly more influence than price alone. Stringent security and compliance standards apply, including facility clearances matching the highest DD Form 254 classification, the use of controlled unclassified information safeguards, and verification through the Industrial Security Facilities Database. Packaging, marking, inspection, and acceptance requirements mandate adherence to MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-130 for military marking and Unique Item Identification, with inspections governed under appropriate FAR clauses. The contract emphasizes proprietary data rights, schedule adherence, and incorporation of advanced system capabilities reflecting evolving operational needs in tanker aircraft avionics.
