Air Force sets new date for tanker RFP
February 9, 2010 - 1:21pm

Get ready for round 3 of the battle for the Air Force's new tanker.
The Air Force released a notice on FedBizOpps.gov Monday saying it plans on issuing a new solicitation for the KC-X Tanker Modernization Program no earlier than Feb. 23.
"This action will result in a fixed-price type contract for engineering and manufacturing development of the KC-X system including four developmental aircraft with options for up to 175 production aerial refueling tanker aircraft based on existing commercial aircraft designs; a production rate targeted at 15 aircraft per year is anticipated," the notice states.
The pre-solicitation notice lists nine performance capabilities that the vendor will have to meet, including aerial refueling of all current and programmed fixed-wing receiver aircraft including same sortie boom and rogue capability and network centric information exchange with joint services.
The Air Force says proposals will be due not earlier than 75 days from the date of RFP release. Some observers estimate the contract could be worth $35 billion.
The services also states that exchanges during the source selection process may include clarifications, communication, and discussions as necessary. Contract award is estimated by Sept. 30. The Air Force anticipates a single award but reserves the right to award multiple contracts or, not to award a contract at all, the notice states.
The tanker saga has been going on since 2000. The Air Force made the initial award to Boeing, but a scandal force the service to start over. Then in 2008, the Air Force awarded to Northrop Grumman and EADS Company. Boeing protested and inconsistencies were found in the review of proposals. Since then, the Air Force has been planning this new RFP.
