About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command is soliciting for the procurement of 31 sets (62 individual) engine intake plugs for U-2 aircraft operated by the 9th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron at Beale Air Force Base. These plugs are critical safety-of-flight components designed to prevent foreign object debris from entering the engine and reduce catastrophic failure risks posed by deteriorated existing inventory. The solicitation requires that plugs consist of a soft, compressible foam core with heavy-duty, waterproof, UV-resistant fabric upholstery, high-visibility "Remove Before Flight" streamers, and a minimum service life of 7-10 years, with free replacement parts provided for operational failures. Evaluation will be conducted using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, assessing technical compliance with product specifications and delivery timeline adequacy before evaluating price for reasonableness and completeness. The deadline for submitting questions is March 16, 2026 at 4:00 PM PDT, with proposals due by March 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM PDT, as extended by Amendment 001.
This procurement is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under the North American Industry Classification System code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. No incumbent contractor or award value has been specified in the solicitation documents. The requirement encompasses 31 sets of intake plugs with NSN 1730-01-579-2558 (part number RG1052-1), with delivery required within 60 calendar days of contract award, no later than May 1, 2026.
