About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis for a C-5 Ballscrew Assembly, specifically NSN 1620-01-118-9846, Part Number 4G94036-101B. This market research effort aims to determine potential sources and evaluate the feasibility of a competitive procurement or small business set-aside. The agency is seeking information from interested small businesses, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Respondents are requested to provide details about their capabilities, similar services offered to government and commercial customers in the past three years, and potential teaming arrangements. The primary evaluation criteria will focus on understanding the market's capacity to meet the procurement requirements, with responses due by April 2, 2025. Interested parties must submit voluntary information to Christina Witt, the Contracting Officer, with the understanding that this is not a formal solicitation and will not result in a binding contract.
The procurement is classified under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. While there is currently no specific set-aside designation, the government is deliberately exploring small business participation potential. The synopsis indicates this is for spare parts with an Expendability, Recoverability, Reparability Category (ERRC) Code of N, suggesting these are replacement components for aircraft systems. No specific award value or budget range is mentioned in the current synopsis, and the exact quantity of ballscrew assemblies required is not specified. The procurement is not associated with a Recovery and Reinvestment Act action, and responses will be handled confidentially, with proprietary information protected. Potential respondents are advised that they will be responsible for all expenses related to preparing and submitting information for this market research effort.
