15342 Tooling List_Sources Sought.xlsx

This is a Sources Sought synopsis for a 10-year Tooling Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Follow-on procurement issued by the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center under solicitation number FA8227-26-Q-TBPA. The Government is conducting market research to identify responsible sources and determine procurement strategy, including potential for total small business set-aside. The applicable NAICS code is 333515 (Metalworking Machinery Manufacturing) with a 500-employee size standard. The Government seeks responses from all small business categories including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns, and welcomes both large and small businesses to submit qualifications.

The attached Tooling List (15342_Tooling_List_Sources_Sought.xlsx) contains a comprehensive inventory of required tools and equipment spanning multiple categories: precision machine tools (reamers, mandrels, bushings, files), hand tools (screwdrivers, wrenches, pliers, hammers, punches), drilling and fastening equipment (drill bits, countersinks, rivet tools), soldering and electrical equipment, cutting tools, and specialized fixtures and adapters. The list includes over 2,000 individual line items with corresponding part numbers, model numbers, and units of issue (primarily priced per each). Interested companies must submit qualifications summaries without web page references, identify small business status, describe similar services provided to Government and commercial customers over the past three years, and outline any teaming arrangements with clear delineation of prime versus partner responsibilities. The Government will not answer questions during this sources sought phase and will not return submissions. If procurement proceeds based on responses received, a separate pre-award synopsis will be posted to SAM.gov.
