Key Details

  • What exactly do they need? The Air Force needs a small business to upgrade the cockpit display on F-35 fighter jets with the F-35 Panoramic Center Display (PCD) Model TR-3.

  • What's the contract structure and timeline? The contract will be a firm-fixed-price contract with a period of performance of 12 months from the date of award. The government intends to award without negotiations, and the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint should be included in the initial quote.
  • How will they pick the winner? The solicitation will be evaluated using Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). The technical acceptability factor contains one non-cost subfactor, which is the ability to provide the F-35 Panoramic Center Display (PCD) Model TR-3 with technical specifications.

Heads up — easy to miss
