FA8539-26-R-0001, Letter Request for Proposal (LRFP) – E-3 DRAGON Program

The Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking proposals for the repair, inspection, testing, and packaging of avionics components for the E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) under the Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS) Replacement of Avionics for Global Operations and Navigation (DRAGON) program. This is a 3-year repair effort with projected annual Best Estimated Quantities (BEQ) for specific NSNs/PNs detailed in the solicitation (ranging from 5 to 7 units per NSN). This requirement is unique due to the limited availability of repair data and sources. Collins Aerospace, formerly the sole source for DRAGON upgrades and currently a subsidiary of RTX, is unwilling to sell or license repair data and does not have authorized repair vendors. They have expressed interest in submitting a proposal and potentially utilizing their existing corporate contract (SPE4AX-21-D-9400) for this work. Proposals are due by November 30, 2025.
