# Air Force Plans C3BM Services Consolidation

The Department of the Air Force appointed Dana Stanley as its first senior services director for the C3BM portfolio, which encompasses more than 150 service contracts valued at approximately **$7 billion**. The portfolio plans to consolidate overlapping division-level requirements into high-ceiling enterprise contract vehicles and shift toward outcome-based performance measures; its stated goal is to reduce acquisition lead times by 40% to 50% over the next three years. No current solicitation or bid deadline is identified.

- Contractors supporting C3BM should assess how their current services align with potential enterprise-scale requirements and outcome-based performance measures.
- The planned consolidation could change how firms pursue work previously competed at the division level; companies may need to position for larger, higher-ceiling vehicles.
- The lead-time reduction is a portfolio goal, not a stated procurement schedule. The signal identifies no active bid opportunity or deadline.
