Renaissance Services Inc., based in Fairborn, Ohio, has won a contract to provide engineering and manufacturing services to the US Air Force for rapid sustainment of aircraft and related weapon systems. Renaissance is one of 67 companies selected to be part of a 5-year, nearly $1 billion IDIQ contract (“Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity”). This multi-award contract, led by the Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (RSO), is for Renaissance Services and other selected contractors to assist the US Air Force in the rapid manufacture of spare parts for legacy aircraft such as the F-15, F-16, B-1, B-2, B-52, KC-135, and others. In addition, the selected contractors will also support the RSO in the use of automation and robotics, advanced composites, artificial intelligence, digital engineering, and other technologies that can improve logistics and sustainment. RSO is a component of the U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in the Dayton area. RSO’s mission is to find “ways to save money and improve efficiencies in the sustainment of aircraft and other weapon systems throughout the Air Force fleet.” Renaissance Services is a pioneer in the use of additive manufacturing of tooling to enable the rapid manufacture of castings for legacy parts. Renaissance has previously leveraged additive manufacturing technology to produce rapid cast parts for several Air Force systems. Some of the examples include an electrical chassis for the F-15, torque convertor for the F-16, gearbox housing for the E-3, and the air inlet guide for the KC-135. Other organizations selected for the multi-year contract include well known prime contractors such as Lockheed and Raytheon, as well as smaller companies such as Arctos Technology and Essentium. The Renaissance Services team congratulates the other firms who the Rapid Sustainment Office found worthy to join the ultimate team – the team helping ensure America’s Air Force will always be Number One.
