KBR to provide engineering services to Air Force focused on aging aircraft under a new $91.8 million task order
KBR, Inc. won a new $91.8 million task order to provide engineering services to research, analyze and develop solutions for U.S. Air Force aircraft and other system components managed by the 448th Supply Chain Management Wing (SCMW), the company announced.
The USAF Installation Contracting Center awarded the cost-plus-fixed-fee task order through the DoD Information Analysis Center’s Multiple Award Contract, an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity vehicle for complex, integrated professional projects.
KBR has supported the mission of the DoD research and development community through various predecessor DoD IAC contracts since 2005.
Under the task order, KBR will identify and develop solutions for the Air Force to address Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages issues associated with increasing aircraft age, such as fatigue cracking, reduced damage tolerance, and corrosion.
The company will also provide engineering analyses of electronic warfare systems and components, and assess fundamental design requirements, logistics supportability, and life-limiting degradation issues.
KBR will also assess software and security impacts, and modify requirements due to platform needs or redesign efforts and evaluate aircraft fleet status. This includes depot requirements, repair processes, procurement of parts, modification of procedures, engineering support, data management requirements, software requirements, and overall product support.
The company has performed similar tasking for the Air Force Life Cycle Management Command (AFLCMC) since 2005.
