About this file
This is a Sources Sought Synopsis issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center (Solicitation Number FA82282616MILL) to conduct market research for F-16 Wing Skin Milling services. The government seeks to identify responsible sources and determine whether the procurement can be competitive or conducted as a total Small Business Set-Aside under NAICS code 332710 (size standard: 500 employees). The Air Force is particularly interested in responses from small businesses, including 8(a) firms, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned businesses, HUBZone businesses, and Women-Owned small business concerns.
The requirement involves modifying F-16 lower wing skins by milling the inner surface to create uniform thickness throughout each skin as part of the aircraft's major overhaul process performed at Hill Air Force Base. Services include skin contour milling with the skin fixed flat during processing, as well as shipping between Hill AFB and the contracting facility. The service is commercial in nature with no military-specific requirements, no long lead schedule items, and no environmental regulations or product certifications needed. Standard commercial terms and conditions will apply with one-year standard warranty. Interested contractors must submit responses no later than July 8, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. MST to Michael Checketts (michael.checketts@us.af.mil) and Merrick Flygare (merrick.flygare@us.af.mil), including company name, CAGE code, point of contact information, small business status confirmation, and System for Award Management (SAM) registration status. This Sources Sought is for information gathering only; the government is not financially obligated to pay for response preparation.
