About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force, United States Air Forces in Europe and Africa, seeks 60 custom Pelican cases (MPAK2274 model) with corresponding foam cutouts for F-35 helmet protection and transport at RAF Lakenheath, UK, with quotes due September 16, 2026 at 15:00 GMT/BST and questions due September 9, 2026 at 15:00 GMT/BST. An amendment issued September 14 added vendor questions and answers for requirement clarification.
The procurement carries no small business set-aside due to overseas location. Place of performance is RAF Lakenheath, Chester Street, Brandon IP27 9PS, UK, with inspection and acceptance occurring at two locations: F2P1G1 48 OG RA in the United States and at the overseas destination. The requirement encompasses two line items: 60 MPAK2274 Custom F-35 Helmet Foam units (CLIN 0001) and 60 MPAK2274 Case Only units (CLIN 0002), both under PSC 4240 (Hardware, Commercial) and NAICS 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing).
Delivery is due 90 calendar days from award, with a scheduled date of November 30, 2026. Shipping terms are firm fixed-price FOB Destination with all costs included; non-UK vendors must consolidate approximately 1,750 lbs across seven pallets through Dover AFB via the MILAIR process, marked "UNITED STATES AIR FORCE." The procurement is structured as a commercial items acquisition under FAR Part 12 with standard commercial item provisions. Pre-installation of foam into cases is preferred but not mandatory; technically equivalent cases meeting exact interior dimensions (29.00" L × 18.00" W × 13.80" H) are acceptable, and suitable foam substitutes meeting specifications are permissible. Foreign and international suppliers are eligible if they satisfy all required U.S. Government registrations and maintain active SAM registration or CAGE code documentation. Detailed technical specifications and CAD files will be provided upon contract acceptance due to F-35 proprietary considerations. No Buy American or Trade Agreement restrictions apply.
