Modernization and Sustainment of the T-7 Family of SystemsThe U.S. Air Force is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify qualified contractors capable of supporting the modernization and sustainment of the T-7 Family of Systems (FoS), which includes the T-7 Air Vehicle, Ground Based Training System (GBTS), Maintenance Training System (MTS), and associated components. This effort aims to address potential updates and ongoing sustainment activities beginning around Fiscal Year 2029, supporting the transition from the legacy T-38C trainer to the new T-7 platform. The initiative involves a range of technical tasks such as planning, development, testing, production, installation, integration, and sustainment of current and upgraded T-7 capabilities, including advanced safety features like Terrain and Air Collision Avoidance, Barrier Capability evaluation, selectable G-limiters for pilot training, enhanced Pilot Vehicle Interface improvements, and upgraded embedded GPS/INS navigation systems. Sustainment responsibilities extend to depot maintenance, product support, software and technical order maintenance, configuration and data management, supply chain oversight, and fleet management, requiring expertise across a broad spectrum of engineering and management disciplines. The Air Force is seeking responses from companies with demonstrated experience in aircraft sustainment and modernization, strong technical and program management capabilities, and the ability to perform all aspects of sustainment engineering, including software and hardware support, integration with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and complex supply chain management. Respondents should detail their qualifications for the modernization tasks and sustainment roles, including relevant facilities, teaming arrangements, and their business size classifications. Submission is not a request for proposal but will inform acquisition strategies, potentially impacting whether the award will be full and open or set aside for small businesses. Responses are due by July 16, 2026.
