Several Dayton-area area firms are positioned to compete for orders under a new Air Force Life Cycle Management Center contract, with a $900 million ceiling.

They include Tangram Flex in Dayton; Peerless Technologies and Clear Creek Applied Technologies Inc., both in Fairborn; Infinity Labs LLC, in Beavercreek Twp.; Infoscitex Corp. and Sabel Systems Technology Solutions LLC, both at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, where the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is headquartered.

The work will involve studying new technologies, recurrent demonstration and rapid development to enable rapid prototyping, test and capability transition and more, according to a Department of Defense announcement.

“The Air Force has always been at the forefront of developing technologies and technical innovation,” Peerless President Andrea Kunk said Friday. “We look forward to leveraging our engineering and R&D capabilities to help the Air Force develop, test and field new capabilities under this program.”

An Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract such as this one offers an indefinite quantity of services for a fixed time.

Elsewhere in the area, Rhinestahl Corp., of Mason, has been awarded a nearly $140.3 million firm-fixed-price contract to provide support equipment for the General Electric/GE Aerospace F110 jet engine.
