Summary (Newest Update)

Background The Department of the Air Force is issuing this solicitation for the remanufacture of the Accessory Drive Gearbox (ADG) and Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) as part of a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) - Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ). The goal of this contract is to support the Secondary Power System of the F-16 C/D Aircraft. This contract has a total potential length of 10 years, including a five-year base period and one five-year option. The amendment aims to update the Ordering Guide and adjust the Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Plan requirements. Work Details The contract includes the following items for remanufacture: - Accessory Drive Gearbox (ADG) - NSN: 2835012080169RP - Jet Fuel Starters (JFS) - NSNs: 2835013083769RP, 2835016892101RP The ADG serves as an interface between the JFS and the Power Take-Off (PTO) shaft, while the JFS provides shaft horsepower directly to the ADG. The IDIQ yearly minimum/maximum order quantities are as follows: - ADG: Minimum 10 units / Maximum 30 units - JFS: Minimum 14 units / Maximum 42 units The contractor must adhere to military packaging standards as specified in MIL-STD 2073-1, MIL-STD 129, and other relevant standards for preservation, packaging, and marking requirements. Period of Performance The effective date for this contract is May 19, 2026. Place of Performance Hill Air Force Base, UT Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on prior F-16 accessory drive gearbox (ADG) and jet fuel starter (JFS) repair awards under FA825121D0005 to AAR Allen Services, including a $21,256,274 contract for repair of both the ADG and JFS used in the F-16 C/D secondary power system. The prior work includes remanufacture/repair of the same auxiliary drive gearbox and jet fuel starter components (with one award specifically covering “REPAIR OF F-16 AUXILIARY DRIVE GEARBOX AND JET FUEL STARTER” and another covering “REPAIR OF F16 AUXILIARY DRIVE GEARBOXES (ADGS) AND JFS PART”), performed in Garden City, New York. The current MAC IDIQ similarly targets remanufacture of the ADG and JFS for the same aircraft subsystem, suggesting continuity in part types and mission application.

Amendment 0001: The purpose of this amendment is to incorporate the updated Ordering Guide and remove the Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) Plan submission and evaluation requirements from Sections L and M of the basic solicitation. Please note that the SCRM requirement is not being eliminated; rather, it is being shifted from the basic contract level to the task order level, as now detailed in the revised Ordering Guide (dated 19 May 2026). This update is a procedural and formatting change that only shifts the SCRM Plan submission from the basic contract to delivery order proposal submission; it is not considered a material change. Accordingly, there will be no extension to the proposal due date. Amendment 0001 Updated Attachments: 1. Solicitation Amendment: FA8252-26-R-0073-0001 2.
