Mexico F-5 Repair and Return / Overhaul

The contract FA822026RB005, titled Mexico F-5 Repair and Return / Overhaul, is a Firm Fixed Price solicitation issued by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center under the Department of Defense for the repair and overhaul of two units—Canopy Seal Regulator and Valve Ram Air—each in a quantity of two. Performance is required within 120 calendar days of award, with delivery and final acceptance occurring at Hill AFB, Utah, while the work is to be performed in Nibley, Utah. The effort is governed by a Performance Work Statement and detailed technical specifications in Attachments 1 and 3, which outline required deliverables including contractor progress reports, test and inspection documentation, labor cost estimates, and variance requests as part of the Contract Data Requirements List. Inspection and acceptance are the Government’s responsibility, with criteria aligned to FAR Clause 52.246-4 and referenced quality standards including AS9110 and ISO 9001, and performance is evaluated under a best-value trade-off process where technical factors significantly outweigh price, though price remains substantially important. The contract includes mandatory compliance with numerous FAR and DFARS clauses covering ethical conduct, fraud prevention, payment restrictions, executive compensation reporting, and control of personally identifiable information, with deviations noted for certain reporting clauses. Invoicing must be conducted exclusively through WAWF, and payment will be processed via DoDAAC routing codes to be completed prior to award. All offerors must hold a valid UEI and CAGE code and must certify their size status in SAM, with no socioeconomic set-asides designated. The solicitation imposes critical technical requirements, particularly the need for a qualified repair source, failure of which renders a proposal ineligible. The evaluation process does not use LPTA and allows award to a higher-priced offeror if technical merits justify the cost differential. No contract value has been disclosed due to unpopulated pricing fields, and no options are available. The contract requires full compliance with reporting obligations for covered defense telecommunications and adherence to federal safeguards for defense information, with no special security clearances or OCI mitigation plans indicated. Submission is due by July 29, 2026, through SAM.gov, with primary point of contact Marshall Neilson at Hill AFB.
