About this file
This is a Sources Sought notice issued by the Department of Defense, Air Force Sustainment Center (FA8203 AFSC PZAAB), to conduct market research on potential manufacturing sources for fluid pressure regulating valves. The Government is seeking information on responsible sources capable of manufacturing four variants of B-2 valves with National Stock Numbers (NSNs) 4810-01-378-1705, 4810-01-378-3300, 4810-01-378-5082, and 4810-01-378-1340. All items are to be supplied under Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contracts. Responses are due by February 9, 2026, at 4:30 PM MST (15 days from publication).
The notice is not a formal solicitation or request for proposal but rather market research for planning purposes. The Government does not own manufacturing rights to these items and anticipates issuing a sole source FFP contract to Meggitt Aircraft Braking System (Cage Code 0B9R9). Interested contractors must possess or demonstrate the ability to obtain proprietary technical data and drawings from Meggitt; reverse-engineering has been deemed impractical and economically unfeasible. The applicable NAICS Code is 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The Government welcomes responses from both small and large business concerns and requests that respondents identify their business status and capability to access the required proprietary data.
