About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Pacific Air Forces is conducting market research for an F-18 Mobile Aircraft Egress Trainer to be delivered to the 554th Red Horse Squadron at Andersen Air Force Base in Guam. The trainer must be a standalone unit that precisely replicates an actual F-18 aircraft, featuring a single-pilot cockpit with opening canopy, authentic F-18 restraints and controls, stainless steel fuselage construction, simulated engines, wing-mounted ordnance replicas, and folding wings for transportation mobility. The specification requires exact dimensional compliance and includes technical components such as three-wheel landing gear, built-in lifting lugs, and dedicated liquid oxygen and battery compartments to provide realistic egress training capabilities. This sources sought notice is strictly for informational and planning purposes only, with no guarantee of future procurement or contract award. Responses must be submitted via email to the designated Contract Specialist Ethan Langas and Contracting Officer TSgt Samuel Gordon III by August 29, 2025, at 11:00 AM Chamorro Standard Time.
This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 339999 for All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing, though the government files reference NAICS 332999 for Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation, and no specific award values, budget ranges, or contract quantities are disclosed in this preliminary market research phase. The procurement involves a single mobile training unit designed to replicate the physical characteristics and operational equipment of an F-18 aircraft for egress training purposes. The government emphasizes that all response costs will be borne solely by the responding parties, and no payments will be made for participation in this sources sought process. The ultimate shipping destination is specified as Northwest Field B61252 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.
