About this file

This document is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Department of Defense/Air Force Materiel Command seeking potential sources for F-16 aircraft inert components. The RFI focuses on five specific NSN-coded items including unions, retainer assemblies, connectors, and a booster fitting, with the primary goal of conducting market research to determine competitive sourcing and potential small business set-aside opportunities. The government is specifically interested in small businesses, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns, under NAICS code 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees.

Interested parties are requested to respond by 2:00 PM MDT on 11 August 2025, providing details such as relevant engineering and manufacturing experience with similar canopy remover rocket components, company profile information (employee count, location, CAGE code, DUNS number), and small business status. The government emphasizes that no reimbursement will be provided for response costs, and potential offerors must independently possess appropriate technical data for manufacturing. Respondents should also outline any anticipated teaming arrangements and provide descriptions of similar services offered to government and commercial customers in the past three years. Technical questions can be directed to Mrs. Sharon Davis at sharon.davis.16@us.af.mil.
