About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturing sources for four variants of B-2 fluid pressure regulating valves with National Stock Numbers 4810-01-378-1705, 4810-01-378-3300, 4810-01-378-5082, and 4810-01-378-1340. This pre-solicitation notice seeks to determine whether responsible sources exist and whether the procurement can be competitive, though no commitment to award is implied by this notice. Key requirements include that interested contractors must possess or demonstrate the ability to obtain proprietary technical data and drawings from the original manufacturer, as reverse-engineering has been deemed impractical and economically unfeasible. The applicable NAICS code is 336413 (Aeronautical, Astronautical, and Nautical Instrument Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and the Government welcomes responses from both small and large business concerns. Responses are due by February 9, 2026, at 4:30 PM MST, providing a 15-day window for interested parties to submit their capabilities and business status information.
No set-asides have been designated for this procurement. Meggitt Aircraft Braking System (Cage Code 0B9R9) is identified as the anticipated sole source contractor, and the Government is specifically seeking alternative sources capable of meeting the same manufacturing requirements. The procurement will be structured under Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) supply contracts, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The Government is seeking information on four distinct valve variants, though specific quantities and delivery timelines are not provided in the sources sought documentation. Respondents must clearly identify their business status relative to the NAICS code and provide evidence of their capability to obtain or possess necessary proprietary data rights from Meggitt Aircraft Braking System to be considered as viable alternatives.
