About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis to conduct market research for a potential procurement related to explosive manufacturing under NAICS code 325920. The agency is seeking to identify responsible sources with engineering and manufacturing capabilities for an unspecified component that will support United States Air Force operations and/or Foreign Military Sales programs. This market research effort aims to determine if the procurement can be conducted competitively and whether it qualifies for a total Small Business Set-Aside, with particular interest in 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Companies responding to this notice must identify their small business status relative to the NAICS code size standard of 750 employees and provide descriptions of similar services offered to government and commercial customers over the past three years. The response deadline for this Sources Sought Synopsis is October 17, 2025.
This is not designated as a set-aside procurement at this time, as the government is using this market research to determine the appropriate acquisition strategy, including whether a Small Business Set-Aside would be feasible. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the synopsis, and no contract award values, budget ranges, or specific quantities are disclosed in this preliminary market research phase. Companies are requested to detail any anticipated teaming arrangements and clearly delineate the work distribution between prime contractors and teaming partners. The synopsis explicitly states that this is not a solicitation for proposals and no contract will be awarded based on responses to this market research effort. The government will use the collected information solely for preliminary planning purposes and to inform their future acquisition strategy for this explosive manufacturing requirement.
