Air Force chooses joint venture for $430M technical data contract

The service branch is seeking help in functions such as management, updates, conversion, distribution and library services.

A SierTeK-CDO Technologies joint venture has won a potential $430 million contract to help both the Air Force and Space Force work with data related to technical orders and engineering functions.

The Technical Data Support Service Enterprise contract goes by the acronym TDSSe3 and covers maximum of nine years. The Q-Tech joint venture will perform work during an initial four-year base period and up to five individual option years, the Air Force said in a June 13 award notice.

Air Force officials set up the contract as a small business set-aside program to cover a wide range of requirements involving data management, updates, conversion, distribution and library services.

Solicitation documents released in March 2024 also describe the contractor’s responsibilities as including day-to-day functional support, system updates, formatting, publication reviews, configurations and storage.

Q-Tech is structured as a mentor-protégé joint venture, where CDO is mentoring the service-disabled/veteran-owned small business SierTek.
