Aircraft Trailing Edge

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through the U.S. Air Force Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the procurement of aircraft trailing edge spares for the B-1 Aircraft. The government is seeking qualified vendors capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment required for new manufacture of Part Number L2100164-022 (NSN 1560-01-548-5077 EK), including component part procurement, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping. Interested vendors from all business types—including large businesses, small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) certified businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone businesses, and women-owned small businesses—are encouraged to participate. Potential sources must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package and submit it electronically through DoD SAFE. Vendors must register through the "Add Me to Interested Vendors" option and respond to 424.scms.afmc.rfi.responses@us.af.mil, with questions directed to the specified Air Force contacts by the May 9, 2026 deadline.

This pre-solicitation notice involves no specific set-aside designation, allowing full and open competition. The government has identified an estimated spares requirement of approximately 172,007.59 units with a total estimated value of $12,900,569.25, though no funds are currently available to support this market research effort. Potential sources may also be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, long-lead time parts procurement, diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortage (DMSMS) mitigation, and shipping of serviceable assets. Nonrecurring engineering costs may apply for source approval. This is classified as a new spares buy with no repair requirement, and the place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma 73145.
