About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center has issued a Sources Sought Special Notice regarding the remanufacturing of C-5 Landing Gear Right-angle Gearboxes. The notice specifically relates to research for potential alternative sources for manufacturing left and right hand gearbox components with specific part numbers and NSN identifications. Currently, the government intends to issue a sole source solicitation to Sargent Aerospace & Defense LLC, who owns the necessary technical data for remanufacturing these components. This market research effort is designed to explore whether competitive sourcing options might exist for these critical aircraft parts. The notice was posted on February 3, 2025, with responses due by February 18, 2025.
The primary objective of this Special Notice is to conduct comprehensive market research to determine if other qualified sources can remanufacture the specified C-5 Landing Gear Right Angle Gearbox components in accordance with Technical Order 4S2-70-3. Interested contractors must submit a PDF document via email that includes their company name, active CAGE code, point of contact details, and a description of their experience remanufacturing these specific gearbox components within the past three years. The government emphasizes that this is not an actual solicitation and respondents will not be compensated for their submitted information. While currently planned as a potential sole source contract with Sargent Aerospace & Defense LLC, the research may potentially result in a competitive procurement or a Small Business Set-Aside opportunity. Contractors should carefully note that responses are not considered offers and cannot be used to form a binding contract.
