**11241-46 PSC:** J016 The US Air Force anticipates a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP), Requirements type Request for Proposal (RFP), FA8538-26-R-0003, to provide all the necessary parts and labor to test and repair the PACS-46 CP. The contract will consist of a Basic Ordering Period (12 months) and four (4) 12-month Ordering Periods. This anticipated contract action is in support of the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC), 638th Supply Chain Management Group (SCMG), 409th Supply Chain Management Squadron (SCMS).

The anticipated repair service will provide serviceable assets to meet the Government’s required delivery schedule of 30 days after receipt of asset or funded task order, whichever is later. The PACS-46 is expected to remain on the F-15 fleet for its remaining life cycle, currently scheduled for 2045. The proposed contract action is for services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate utilizing Other Than Full and Open procedures in accordance with FAR 6.302-1.

The Government does not own any technical data in support of this requirement.
