Contract Ceiling Increase - Repair Airfield and Base Pavements

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Department of the Air Force, specifically the 4th Contracting Squadron at Seymour Johnson AFB, NC, is seeking to increase the ceiling amount of an existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Firm Fixed Price Contract for airfield and base pavement repairs. This contract was originally awarded on August 25, 2021, and is set to expire on August 24, 2026. The increase is necessary due to unforeseen changes in project scope resulting from a geo-technical study conducted in September 2025, which revealed significant sub-grade stability issues that must be addressed to support critical airfield operations. Work Details The contract involves major airfield repair projects aimed at ensuring the structural integrity and stability of runway aprons. The scope has been adjusted to accommodate the landing requirements of the KC-46 aircraft, which is heavier than its predecessor, the KC-135. The current estimate indicates that $20 million will be required for project execution, necessitating a ceiling increase of $2.9 million. The contractor will implement a combination of sub-grade stabilization techniques and increased asphalt thickness to mitigate identified deficiencies and ensure long-term pavement stability. Failure to complete this work could delay airfield reopening for fighter training unit production and operational readiness for both the 4th Fighter Wing and the 916th Air Refueling Wing. Period of Performance The contract period of performance spans from August 25, 2021, to August 24, 2026. Place of Performance Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina.
