These components are critical parts for the B-1B 19E170-3B PTO Shaft and must be manufactured according to Original Equipment Manufacturer Collins Aerospace's proprietary drawings and specifications. The Air Force is currently pursuing a sole-source acquisition strategy under FAR 6.302-1 but is actively seeking responses from all responsible sources, with particular interest in small business concerns including 8(a) certified, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned enterprises. Interested parties must submit detailed responses by March 27, 2026, including company contact information, CAGE code, NAICS code classification, small business status, ownership structure, and descriptions of similar supplies provided to government and commercial customers over the past three years. The estimated contract award date is July 2026, with responses to be directed to Brooks Poll at AFSC OL: H/PZACB, Hill Air Force Base, Utah, either by mail or email at brooks.poll@us.af.mil.
