About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting market research to identify potential sources for C-5 Ballscrew Assembly components, specifically seeking small businesses capable of manufacturing aircraft parts. The pre-solicitation notice targets three specific ball screw assembly items with different National Stock Numbers and Part Numbers, all classified under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. The government's primary objective is to determine if responsible sources exist and assess the potential for a competitive or small business set-aside procurement. Interested parties are requested to respond within 14 days of the March 25, 2025 posting, providing details about their small business status, teaming arrangements, and similar services provided to government and commercial customers over the past three years. The contracting officer, Christina Witt, can be contacted at christina.witt.2@us.af.mil or 801-777-6977 for additional information.
The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside has been predetermined, but the government is particularly interested in various small business categories including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Beaver Aerospace (CAGE CODE: O88K1) has been identified as a potential point of contact for subcontracting opportunities. The size standard for this procurement is set at 1,250 employees, providing flexibility for mid-sized manufacturers. The items being procured are spare parts with an Expendability, Recoverability, Reparability Category (ERRC) Code of N, suggesting these are replacement components for existing C-5 aircraft systems. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned, the detailed specifications and multiple part numbers indicate a potentially significant procurement opportunity for qualified manufacturers in the aircraft parts sector.
