Description

The U.S. Air Force is conducting market research to locate firms capable of producing and installing Line‑of‑Sight (LOS) Link‑16 kits on MC‑130J aircraft, providing full‑life‑cycle support, engineering data access, testing, and logistics. The effort is anticipated to be an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five‑year base period and up to four optional years, requiring Secret clearance and prohibiting foreign participation. While a sole‑source award to Sierra Nevada Corporation is expected, other firms may respond to be considered for subcontracting or teaming arrangements.

Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $30,000,000

No ceiling value is disclosed, but comparable IDIQ contracts for LOS‑16 integration on medium‑range aircraft typically run in the low‑ to mid‑tens of millions of dollars over the base period. Assuming a 5‑year base with multiple task orders, a reasonable estimate is $10 million to $30 million total, depending on the number and size of kits, installation sites, and support services.
