The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, specifically the United States Air Force Supply Chain Management Squadron (421st SCMS) at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, is conducting market research for the procurement of blade set, fan, and aircraft spares (Part Number 301-291-942-0, NSN 2840011966053PN) for the F-108 platform. This is a new spares buy with no repair requirement, and the government is interested in all business types, including large businesses, small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) certified companies, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone businesses, and women-owned small businesses. Potential sources must be capable of providing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for manufacturing the items, including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, and may be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, long-lead time parts procurement, and addressing diminishing manufacturing sources. The government will use information gathered through this Sources Sought Synopsis to determine the best acquisition strategy and whether the effort can be competitive or a small business set-aside. The deadline for submitting questions is March 12, 2026, and interested vendors must select the "Add Me to Interested Vendors" button to participate in this market research effort, with Source Approval Request (SAR) packages to be submitted electronically through DoD SAFE.

This pre-solicitation notice contains no set-aside designation and does not identify any potential incumbents or current contractors. The estimated spares requirement quantity and possible award values or budget ranges are not specified in the government documentation. Unit prices will be established at contract award. The NAICS Code 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing) applies with a corresponding size standard of 1,500 employees, and the place of performance is Tinker AFB, OK 73145. This is not a request for proposal or solicitation, and no contractual commitment or funds are available at this time; the government is purely conducting market research to inform its acquisition strategy.
