Blower assembly PN 1068112

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of providing a Blower Assembly (Part Number 1068112) for common ground support equipment, specifically the ACU-808-DUP-SERIES with NSN 4120-01-661-8379. This Request for Information seeks contractors with the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the qualification requirements for form, fit, and function of the blower assembly component. Interested parties must submit a comprehensive capability survey addressing manufacturing capabilities, engineering services, commerciality, quality assurance, and technical data generation requirements. The evaluation will focus on demonstrated ability to produce or support the Blower Assembly, including past project experience, quality processes, manufacturing capabilities, and potential teaming arrangements. The deadline for capability survey submissions is close of business on July 16, 2025, with the overall due date for the pre-solicitation notice set for July 24, 2025. Questions should be directed to Jonathan Spiers (PCO) at jonathan.spiers.1@us.af.mil.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to both large and small businesses, though the government emphasizes particular interest in small business participation. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. The notice does not specify contract values, budget ranges, or quantities of blower assemblies required. The government has made clear that participation in this market research survey does not guarantee future solicitation opportunities or contract awards. All expenses associated with participation in this survey will be borne by the responding contractors, as the government will not provide reimbursement. The Air Force Sustainment Center will use the information gathered from this RFI to determine the final procurement strategy for this ground support equipment component.
