Maintenance Systems Program Office MOHW_RAV Synopsis

The Joint Strike Fighter Joint Program Office in Arlington, Virginia intends to issue multiple contract actions on a Sole Source basis to Lockheed Martin Corporation, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company (LM Aero), Fort Worth, Texas for the award of a Fiscal Years 2026-2030 (FY26-30) Rapid Acquisition Vehicle for Innovation (RAVIN) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract; FY26-30 Maintenance Systems (Mx Sys) Operational Data Integrated Network (ODIN) Hardware (HW) (MOHW) IDIQ contract actions; and any modifications necessary within the foregoing scope.

The orders will procure engineering and logistics studies, hardware, software, training, and engineering services necessary for the Automated Logistics Information System (ALIS) to ODIN Modernization Program, and support to the fleet. The RAVIN effort has an estimated ordering period of 5 years. The supplies and services being acquired under the contemplated contracting actions support development activities to deliver modernized F-35 Maintenance Systems software.

Contract requirements will include development, integration, testing, training, and rollout/fielding of new software products. The contract will also include requirements to support, via procurement of applicable hardware and software licenses, the ongoing standup of government-run A2O software development and test facilities and support of service/partner led test events.

The F-35 maintenance system provides the ability to manage maintenance actions, manage F-35 air system parts supply, monitor aircraft system health, manage flight scheduling, manage mission planning, deliver training and track qualifications, and provide failure reporting and corrective action analysis among multiple other functions. The F-35 maintenance system directly connects with multiple LM Aero systems that manage the configuration of the aircraft and interact with parts suppliers.

The MOHW IDIQ and any related follow-on contract actions through the period of FY26-30 are for the production of the F-35 logistics information system hardware – which encompasses both the ALIS and ODIN – and Mission Planning Environment (MPE) hardware and the associated administrative support necessary to field the F-35 ODIN, MPE, and components of any future ODIN and MPE retrofits for the F-35A, F-35B and F-35C aircraft.

This includes, but is not limited to, contract management, planning and readiness reviews and associated non-recurring introduction to service activities. The anticipated period of performance includes a total performance period of five (5) years. The Program Office intends to award these efforts to LM-Aero, Fort Worth, Texas.
