    Description

    The Department of Defense, specifically the Department of the Air Force, is seeking to procure Sole Source Contractor Engineering Technical Services (CETS) to provide specialized on-site technical support essential for the operation and maintenance of various weapon systems.

The CETS personnel will play a vital role in developing an organic Engineering Technical Services (ETS) capability within the Air Force, as current operational units have not yet achieved the necessary proficiency to independently provide this technical assistance. Interested parties can reach out to Sonia L. Johnston at sonia.johnston@us.af.mil or Alex Heller at alex.heller@us.af.mil for further inquiries regarding this opportunity.
