- Description
- Pre-Solicitation Notice: F-35 Engine Run Simulator This is a pre-solicitation synopsis of a proposed contract action in accordance with RFO Subpart 5.2. Description: The U.S. Air Force has a requirement to procure a high-fidelity F-35 engine run simulator. The system's core objective is to serve as a critical training tool, enabling personnel to master engine start sequences, effectively respond to a range of emergency scenarios, and diagnose system fault codes in a controlled environment. A paramount requirement is that the simulator must replicate the physical characteristics and tactile feedback of a genuine F-35 cockpit. This is essential for building operator familiarity, muscle memory, and the confidence needed for real-world engine run operations. The final product must be delivered in a compact form factor that operates on standard power and cooling infrastructure. The Government has the intent to procure this requirement to a sole source in accordance with 6.301-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Intent to Sole Source: The Government intends to award this contract to IPerformX (CAGE: 8BHF8) under the authority of FAR 12.102(a) because they are the only source that can provide a life-like inject capabilities or the required level of customer support. iPerformX is the proprietary owner and sole manufacturer capable of providing the fully unclassified system with the mandatory 24-month software/56-month hardware warranties because of this the requirement must be procured as a Sole Source directly to iPerformX. This is not a formal solicitation. However, if your business can fulfill this requirement, email a capability statement to the Contracting Officer at ronald.greig@us.af.mil by August 20, 2026 by 1:00PM AKST. We will evaluate all submissions received before the deadline to decide if we should compete this purchase.
