About this file
This document is a Sources Sought (Request for Interested Manufacturers) related to the procurement of C-5 Galaxy Primary Flight Control Manifolds. The Air Force Sustainment Center Contracting Office is conducting market research to identify potential sources that can produce these manifolds, which are Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) that control the positioning of the aircraft's primary flight controls. The original equipment manufacturer is Parker Hannifin Corporation, who maintains the proprietary manufacturing data. Due to the lack of releasable technical data, Parker Hannifin is currently the only known source capable of producing these items. The Air Force intends to award a sole source contract to Parker Hannifin for the production of these manifolds. Other interested parties are requested to respond by November 27, 2024 at 4:30 PM CST to demonstrate their interest and capabilities. This is not a request for proposal, and the government is under no obligation to award a contract as a result of this announcement.
