Value Assessment
Rating: good
The total value of $83.6 million for a 4-year contract for specialized engineering services appears reasonable. Benchmarking against similar complex aerospace sustainment contracts would provide a more precise assessment.
Cost Per Unit: N/A
Competition Analysis
Competition Level: full-and-open
The use of full and open competition is a positive indicator for price discovery. This method allows multiple qualified vendors to bid, potentially driving down costs through market forces.
Taxpayer Impact: The competitive nature of the award suggests taxpayers are likely receiving fair value for the services rendered, avoiding potential overpayment associated with sole-source contracts.
Public Impact
Ensures continued operational readiness of the C-141 Starfighter fleet through essential engineering support. Supports jobs within the aerospace and defense sector, particularly in Georgia. Contributes to the sustainment of aging military aircraft, extending their service life.
Waste & Efficiency Indicators
Waste Risk Score: 50 / 10
Warning Flags
- Potential for cost overruns in Time and Materials contracts if not closely monitored.
- Reliance on a single platform (C-141) may pose future sustainment challenges as it ages.
Positive Signals
- Awarded through full and open competition.
- Contract supports critical national defense capabilities.
- Long-term contract provides stability for the contractor and ensures sustained support.
Sector Analysis
This contract falls within the Defense sector, specifically supporting aircraft sustainment and engineering. Spending benchmarks for similar aircraft maintenance and engineering services can vary widely based on aircraft type, age, and complexity.
Small Business Impact
The contract was awarded to Lockheed Martin, a large prime contractor. There is no explicit indication of small business subcontracting in the provided data, which warrants further investigation to ensure small business participation.
Oversight & Accountability
The contract was managed by the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), indicating established oversight. However, the Time and Materials pricing structure necessitates diligent monitoring to control costs and ensure accountability.
