This is a sources sought notice for market research purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to contract. Interested parties must submit a capability statement of no more than five pages that demonstrates their ability to design, develop, fabricate, and deliver ANI A-Kits along with associated technical drawings. The Government will use submitted capability statements for informational purposes to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy, and additional information may be requested from individual sources at the Government's discretion. Responses must be submitted electronically by March 27, 2026, with earliest possible submission encouraged.

This Pre-Solicitation Notice does not utilize any small business set-aside designations, and no incumbent contractors or award values are specified in the notice. No current contractors are identified, and the notice does not commit the Government to issue a formal solicitation in the future or accept unsolicited proposals at this time. The notice explicitly states that all costs associated with responding are the responsibility of interested parties, and the Government will not reimburse any information or administrative expenses incurred. Not responding to this sources sought notice does not preclude companies from participating in any future Request for Proposal if one is issued. The work falls under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components).
