Multi-Award Multi-Platform OTA

The Department of the Air Force, through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) and the B-1 System Program Office, is seeking sources for a multi-award Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. § 4022 and 4023. This initiative aims to resolve critical spare part shortfalls for strike airframes caused by structural fatigue, vanishing OEMs, and diminishing manufacturing sources. The anticipated period of performance is ten years, spanning from 2027 to 2037, with the B-1 System Program Office at Tinker AFB serving as the lead administrative entity. By utilizing an OTA rather than traditional FAR-based procurement, the government intends to reduce lead times for urgent fleet operational repairs. The scope of work focuses on aircraft sustainment and parts obsolescence resolution, including additive and subtractive manufacturing, reverse engineering of avionics and electrical components, the qualification of specialized RF cables, and the development of embedded firmware. Deliverables will be issued via competitive Prototype Project Orders and must adhere to rigorous standards, including MIL-STD-810 for environmental testing, MIL-HDBK-516C for airworthiness certification, and MIL-STD-129/130/1366 for packaging and marking. Interested respondents must submit a capability statement by November 14, 2026, via DoD SAFE, detailing their statutory eligibility, technical prototyping capabilities, and security clearances, including CMMC and ITAR/EAR compliance. The primary NAICS code for this effort is 336413, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees.
