The Department of the Air Force has started conducting market research to identify potential contractors that can provide the required services under the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command E-4B Aircraft High-Capacity Crossover, or HCX, Broadband Aero Mobile Satellite Communication Service contract.
Contract Scope
According to a sources sought notice published on SAM.gov Thursday, the potential contract covers the establishment of communications connectivity for the Secretary of Defense and other senior leaders aboard the E-4B aircraft fleet.
The project is expected to have a one-year base period and four one-year options. The contract is also expected to start on April 1, 2026.
Interested vendors have until Sept. 19 to submit their responses.
Boeing, the incumbent contractor, was selected by the Air Force to serve as the Product Support Integrator for the E-4 National Airborne Operations Center fleet under the $2 billion, five-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract.
