The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the modernization and sustainment of the T-7 Family of Systems (FoS). This requirement, tracked under solicitation number FA8617-XX-R-XXXX, encompasses the T-7 Air Vehicle, Ground Based Training System, Maintenance Training System, and associated systems. The T-7 FoS was developed as a high-performance jet training solution to replace the T-38C fleet and will eventually consist of 351 aircraft operating from five training bases and various test locations across the continental United States. The program is currently entering the Low-Rate Initial Production phase, and this notice addresses requirements beginning as early as Fiscal Year 2029.
Modernization efforts include the development, testing, and integration of several upgraded capabilities such as Terrain and Air Collision Avoidance Systems, barrier engagement compatibility for net arrestor and cable systems, and pilot-selectable G-limits. Additional requirements involve Pilot Vehicle Interface improvements for fourth- and fifth-generation fighter skill training and the integration of an Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation System. Concurrent sustainment activities include depot-level maintenance, software maintenance, supply chain management, and technical data management. Supporting tasks may be executed at government facilities, contractor facilities, operational bases, and test locations.
This opportunity is classified under NAICS 336411 for Aircraft Manufacturing and PSC 1510 for Aircraft, Fixed Wing. There is currently no set-aside designated for this notice, as market research will determine the final acquisition strategy. Interested firms must submit written capability statements by July 17, 2026, to the AFLCMC office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Responses are limited to 30 pages and must address the firm's experience with complex aircraft systems, software sustainment, and the technical infrastructure necessary to manage the development and retrofit of the T-7 Family of Systems.
