About this file

This document is a Sources Sought Synopsis issued by the Department of the Air Force (Air Force Sustainment Center) for landing gear parts. The market research notice seeks to identify potential manufacturers for two specific A-10 aircraft brake components: a disc brake stator (Part Number 5002515) and a disc brake rotor (Part Number 5003657). The government anticipates obtaining a Justification and Approval (J&A) for limited source competition focused on Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems and Aircraft Wheels and Brake, LLC for the next five years, using various contract vehicles like Basic Ordering Agreements or IDIQ contracts with a Firm-Fixed-Price arrangement.

The synopsis indicates the government does not currently own the technical data rights for these parts and considers it uneconomical to purchase the rights or reverse engineer the components. The proposed North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and the government is interested in responses from both small and large business concerns. Interested parties are requested to demonstrate their ability to obtain proprietary manufacturing data, with responses due by 12/01/2025 at 4:30 PM MST. The notice emphasizes that this is for market research and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to procurement.
