Intent to Sole Source - C-130J Contractor Kit Installation (CKI)

Background
The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC), specifically the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, intends to award a sole source Firm-Fixed Price bridge contract for the installation of Block Upgrade (BU) 7.0/8.1 Group A and B kits and delta kits onto various USAF C-130J and HC-130J Aircraft.

The contract will be awarded to the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC), which is recognized for its expertise in this area and is the current contractor under the existing CKI Contract. This decision is based on the need to avoid unacceptable delays and disruptions in the established installation process, as only one responsible source can fulfill these requirements.

1. Provide a secure method for data transmission and storage, preferably through an Integrated Data Environment (IDE).
2. Ensure that all technical data and computer software produced or provided during the contract are hosted securely.
3. Deliver contractually required data as specified by the Contract Data Requirement List (CDRL), including but not limited to:
- Conference Agenda

- Conference Minutes

- Monthly Status Report (MSR)
- Risk Management Status Report (RMSR)
- Engineering Change Proposals (ECP)
- Contract Change Proposals (CCP)
- Request For Variance (RFV)
- Government Property Inventory Report
- Acceptance Test Report
- Technical Report (AFTO 781 Submissions)
- Data Accession List (DAL).
4. Maintain a quality management system that meets USG objectives and allows for periodic reviews by designated representatives.

The geographic location(s) the contract will be performed (if provided)

Place of Performance
The contract will be performed at various locations where USAF C-130J and HC-130J Aircraft are stationed, though specific locations are not detailed in the solicitation.

Specific qualifications include having relevant experience with C-130J or equivalent large aircraft infrastructure within the last five years, as well as possessing certified maintenance technicians with FAA Airframe and Propulsion certifications.

Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail)
The solicitation for C-130J Contractor Kit Installation (CKI) appears to have a confirmed incumbent, as Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) is the awardee on multiple related CKI contracts/task orders under FA862520D2016-FA862525FB009 (value $9,041,000; 08/01/25–09/30/26), FA862520D2016-FA862525FB005 (value $4,458,864; 03/01/25–07/14/26), and FA862520D2016-FA862524FB017 (value $3,040,016; 09/10/24–03/10/26). These prior awards involve completing Block Upgrade 7.0/8.1 kit installations and related CKI work on USAF C-130J aircraft, which aligns closely with the current bridge effort to install BU 7.0/8.1 Group A and B kits and delta kits onto various C-130J and HC-130J aircraft.
