About this file
This is a Synopsis for a federal contract opportunity to procure spare mechanical actuators for KC-135 aircraft. The U.S. Air Force is seeking to acquire 54 units (with a quantity range of 14 to 81 units) of mechanical actuators (NSN: 1680012210048RK, PN: 458-50009-508) manufactured by Marathonnorco Aerospace Inc. (CAGE: 08844). The actuators open and close the fan duct on KC-135 aircraft and are constructed from aluminum alloy tubing with an axially central steel screw, measuring 4.0 inches wide by 5.5 inches high by 32.0 inches long and weighing 12 pounds each.
The RFP (SPRTA1-26-R-0278) is estimated for release on 6 May 2026 with a response deadline of 21 May 2026. A firm fixed price contract is contemplated, and delivery timing is to be determined. The procurement is being conducted under limited source authority (FAR 6.302) because supplies are available from only one or limited responsible sources. The Government does not own manufacturing data or rights; interested firms must contact the original equipment manufacturer to inquire about data access. All responsible sources may submit proposals, though foreign-owned firms should contact the contracting officer regarding award restrictions. Electronic proposals will be submitted through SAM.gov, and award decisions will consider both price and past performance factors. The Contracting Officer is William Bass (william.bass.6@us.af.mil), and an Ombudsman is available at (405) 855-3556 for offeror concerns.
