Description

The USAF KC‑46A Program Office is seeking industry input on establishing an organic software Operations & Sustainment capability for the KC‑46 Systems Integration Laboratory (SIL) located at Tinker AFB, OK. The RFI solicits information on a contractor’s ability to serve as a system integrator for software maintenance, hardware‑in‑the‑loop lab operations, avionics integration, FAA/DoD certification, cybersecurity, and training for the SIL environment. Responses are purely for market research; no contract award is guaranteed at this stage. • Provide integrated software sustainment, patching, and lifecycle support for the KC‑46 SIL. • Operate and maintain complex HIL lab topologies, including ARINC, MIL‑STD‑1553B, and ARINC 653 partitioning. • Demonstrate expertise in FAA and military certification (DO‑178B/C, DO‑254) and RMF cyber‑survivability. • Offer training curriculum development and potential partnership analysis for the K‑SWISS effort. • Submit interest level, past performance, and any existing OEM relationships (Eaton, Collins, Boeing, etc.).

Budget estimate

$10,000,000 – $50,000,000

No funding is disclosed for the RFI, but an O&S contract for a high‑fidelity SIL typically runs into multi‑year, multi‑hundred‑million‑dollar ranges. Based on comparable KC‑46 sustainment efforts, a conservative estimate would be $10‑50 million over the contract period, reflecting software development, lab operation, certification support, and training services.
