Sources Sought Synopsis - B1 C17 and T6.docx

This is a Sources Sought Synopsis for United States Air Force egress components used in B-1, C-17, and T-6 aircraft. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is seeking sources capable of supplying egress-related components for these three military aircraft platforms. The pre-solicitation notice serves to identify potential contractors with capability, experience, and capacity to support the Air Force's egress component requirements prior to formal solicitation issuance.

The sources sought process allows interested contractors to submit capability statements and relevant experience information demonstrating their ability to manufacture, supply, or maintain egress components for military aircraft. This pre-solicitation activity (Solicitation Number FD2020-27-CADPAD) enables the Air Force to assess the industrial base and determine the appropriate contracting strategy, including potential set-asides or contract vehicles, before proceeding to formal competition. Contractors responding should highlight their manufacturing capabilities, quality assurance systems, compliance with military specifications, and relevant experience with aircraft egress systems.
