Robins Modernization Summit 2026

The 2026 Robins Modernization Summit, solicited under FA8532-26-Modern, is a Department of Defense industry engagement event hosted by AFLCMC/RO at the Georgia National Fairgrounds in Perry, Georgia, from May 11 to 15, 2026. This initiative targets manufacturers and service providers with capabilities in support equipment, vehicles, and automatic test systems to align government modernization needs with industry innovation. Registration is mandatory and closes on May 4, 2026, through SAM.gov or rsevmis.com, with no formal contract value or pricing information provided, as this is an RFI and industry day notice rather than a solicitation for award. The place of performance is clearly defined as the fairgrounds location, and participation involves presenting capabilities, though no formal proposal format, page limits, or submission media requirements are outlined. Evaluation priorities focus on in-house manufacturing and R&D capacity, CONUS-based operations, past performance in base support, aircraft generation, and mobility systems, and portfolio alignment with defense modernization goals, though no weights, ratings, or award methodology are specified. The contracting office is located at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia, with primary point of contact David Leh and secondary contact Tahrea Grant overseeing coordination, while Lisa Furge-Cirilli manages exhibit and registration logistics. No contract clauses, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, payment details, accounting codes, invoicing instructions, or formal representations and certifications have been included in the documentation, as the event is preliminary and designed to gather industry input for future procurement actions. Eligibility indirectly requires U.S.-based presence and relevant defense experience, with potential future requirements for security clearances or compliance with federal acquisition standards to be defined in subsequent solicitations.
