The Air Force intends to award a sole-source, firm-fixed-price contract to The Boeing Company for the production and delivery of 25 FT3 flight test kit replenishment spares supporting the Minuteman III Operational Test Launch program. Delivery will occur just-in-time to Vandenberg Space Force Base, CA, 120 days prior to scheduled launches. The period of performance runs from October 2027 through September 2035, with a total estimated program value of approximately $955 million. Boeing is considered the only responsible source due to unique technical data and expertise, with an estimated $80M duplication cost and three-year delay if another source were selected. Other responsible sources may submit capability statements for the agency's consideration, though a competitive procurement is not currently anticipated.
