    TOS II

    Test Operations and Sustainment II

    Arnold Engineering Development Complex, Tullahoma, TN$500M–$1B+

    Program Context

    AEDC is the world's most advanced aerospace ground test complex, operating wind tunnels, propulsion test cells, and space environmental chambers that are critical national assets.

    Location & Facility

    Arnold Engineering Development Complex, Tullahoma, TN

    Public Mission Scope

    Test operations and facility sustainment at AEDC including wind tunnel operations, propulsion testing, space environmental testing, and facility maintenance.

    Contract Structure & Scale

    Cost-plus-award-fee, long-duration base with extensive option periods. Estimated scale band: $500M–$1B+.

    Public Incumbent Landscape

    AEDC operations have historically been managed by major defense contractors with large-scale test facility operations experience.

    Evaluation Drivers

    • Large-scale test facility operations experience
    • Propulsion test safety record
    • Workforce management at remote facilities
    • Facility modernization approach
    • Past performance on similar test complexes

    Capture Perspective (Public-Source Analysis)

    Public Air Force acquisitions of this type weight staffing depth, directly relevant recent performance, price realism, and rapid, compliant task-order responsiveness. A credible offeror demonstrates it can compete at both the vehicle and task-order level. This perspective is derived from published solicitation and award patterns for comparable vehicles and reflects no non-public information, pursuit decision, or teaming arrangement.

    Our Alignment

    Aligned with test infrastructure modernization priorities. Our propulsion test engineering discipline and facility operations experience position us to contribute to the sustainment and modernization of critical national test infrastructure.

    AI-Enabled Capture Support

    ProposalA.I.â„¢ accelerates large-scale facility operations proposal development, including safety narrative generation, facility modernization plan structuring, and workforce planning documentation.

    Teaming Value

    Our test operations engineering experience and AI-enabled capture infrastructure strengthen teaming arrangements for high-value facility operations and sustainment vehicles.
