About this opportunity
The 633rd Contracting Squadron at Langley Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify qualified vendors capable of supplying a replacement diesel engine for the Aerospace Group Equipment Flight of the 1st Maintenance Squadron. This Request for Information (RFI FA4800-26-Q-0012) is issued by the Department of the Air Force Air Combat Command and seeks feedback on the availability of sources to meet the technical specifications outlined in the Statement of Requirement, with responses due by January 30, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST. The replacement diesel engine must meet specific technical criteria including a four-cylinder configuration with a 3432cc displacement, 18:1 compression ratio, anticlockwise rotation on the flywheel side, and integration with a control panel featuring digital monitoring and illuminated switch systems. The Government is specifically requesting three areas of industry feedback: comments on the draft Statement of Work using industry-wide language, assessment of whether two weeks is sufficient time to provide a quote, and any other relevant information needed to develop a quotation. This announcement is explicitly for market research purposes only and is not a solicitation; no contract awards will be made from this notice, and no formal solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov at this time.
This pre-solicitation notice does not carry a set-aside designation and involves no identified current contractor or incumbent. The procurement targets a single diesel engine unit to replace an obsolete National Stock Number (NSN 4920-01-614-3132) currently installed in a Cabin Pressure Tester manufactured by Hydraulics International Inc., with no direct commercial replacement available. The estimated acquisition value falls below the simplified acquisition threshold, which triggered the market research requirement under Federal Acquisition Regulations. All costs associated with responding to this RFI are the sole responsibility of interested parties, with the Government providing no reimbursement or liability for response expenses. Potential offerors should direct inquiries or responses to Erika Allen (Contract Specialist, 757-225-3880, erika.allen.2@us.af.mil) or Margaret Young (Contracting Officer, 757-225-5668, margaret.young.6@us.af.mil), and participation in this market research effort is strictly voluntary, with responses intended for internal Air Force use only to develop acquisition strategy.
