C17 REMAN (Arm/Fire Initiators)

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Hill Air Force Base is seeking potential sources for manufacturing three types of Arm/Fire Initiators: Electrical, Internal, and External. This pre-solicitation notice is part of a market research effort to identify qualified manufacturers for these specialized components used in military aerospace applications. The government is specifically looking for companies with demonstrable experience in engineering, manufacturing, inspection, and testing of similar components within the last five years. Interested firms must submit a comprehensive company profile including employee count, office location, CAGE Code, Unique Entity Identifier Number, and small business status. Responses are due by 3:00 PM on May 15, 2025, and must be submitted directly to Tyson Tharp via email.

The pre-solicitation does not indicate a specific set-aside, though it welcomes submissions from small business categories including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small businesses. Currently, Chemring Energetic Devices, Inc. and Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company are noted as having existing manufacturing capabilities for these initiators, though the US Government does not own or have rights to their manufacturing data. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 325920 for Explosives Manufacturing, with a size standard of 750 employees, and Product Service Code 1377 for Cartridge And Propellant Actuated Devices And Components. While specific award values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the document suggests a targeted, specialized procurement process for critical military component manufacturing.
