About this file
This is a Sources Sought synopsis issued by the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) Contracting Office at Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. The government is conducting market research to identify potential vendors with surplus C-130 Pressure Indicators (NSN 6620-01-394-4019 LG, PN 10401N01P00). The pressure indicator is a cockpit-mounted device that displays fuel tank pump output pressure to aircrew, with a reading range of zero to 50 PSI for the fuel system cross feed manifold between aircraft fuel tanks and engines.
The original equipment manufacturer, Ametek, Inc. (CAGE 61349), no longer produces this item, and the government does not possess or have access to technical data. Due to technical requirements, the government's requirement is limited to surplus assets in New-Unused condition only. The AFSC Contracting Office intends to award a Small Business Set-Aside contract for the manufacture of the Pressure Indicator in support of the C-130 program. Interested parties must submit their interest and capability by November 30, 2026, via email to Afton Ruffin (afton.ruffin@us.af.mil) and Amy Himes (amy.himes.1@us.af.mil). The synopsis is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation, commitment, or obligation by the government. No funds are available to compensate respondents for preparing responses, and submission of information is strictly voluntary.
