F-15E Ammunition Container Overhaul

The Department of the Air Force, through the AFMC EBRK office, intends to issue a sole-source requirements indefinite delivery contract to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems for the repair of the F-15E Ammunition Container. This critical component, identified by NSN 1005-01-298-2522, is essential for storing and feeding ammunition within the 20mm M61A1 Gatling gun system. The anticipated contract structure includes a one-year base period, four one-year ordering options, and a potential six-month extension. Performance is designated to take place in Vermont.

The acquisition is categorized under NAICS 332993, Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing, and PSC 1005, GUNS, THROUGH 30MM. The Air Force is utilizing the authority of FAR 6.302-1 for this award because the intended contractor holds proprietary technical data and licenses necessary for the overhaul which the government does not own. This sole-source approach is intended to prevent gaps in combat readiness, as no other sources are currently authorized to perform the repairs. There is no set-aside designated for this procurement, and foreign contractors are prohibited from participating.

Solicitation FA855426R0003 is expected to be issued directly to the contractor on or about April 20, 2026, which serves as the primary response deadline in the notice metadata. The government anticipates a final proposal submission by June 5, 2026. Allison Reuter is the designated point of contact for this pre-solicitation, which currently contains no attachments.
