About this file

This is a Sources Sought Synopsis issued by the US Air Force Materiel Command (AFLCMC/EBHK) at Hill Air Force Base for market research purposes only. The synopsis number is FA8213-26-R-3057, and interested parties must respond by 5:00 PM MST on September 1, 2026.

The Air Force is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of engineering, manufacturing, and supporting egress components and ordnance items for the B-52, B-1, and B-2 bombers, as well as components for the Air Launch Cruise Missile. The effort is classified under NAICS Code 325920 (Explosive Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees. Table 1.0 lists 56 specific items requiring support, including initiators, cartridges, thermal batteries, time delays, actuators, and related ordnance components identified by NSN, DODIC code, and part number. The Government is specifically interested in small business sources, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Respondents must provide relevant experience with similar Dual Mechanically Fired Initiators from the past five years, company profile information (number of employees, office location, CAGE code, DUNS number, and small business status), and identification of interested NSNs. No reimbursement will be provided for response costs, and no contract will be awarded from this synopsis. Technical data availability is limited, and the Government cannot fund second source qualification efforts. Interested parties should direct questions to Contracting Officer Lauren Johnston (lauren.johnston.4@us.af.mil) or Lead Program Manager Captain Maygan Gipson (maygan.gipson@us.af.mil).
