About this opportunity
The Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify spares procurement sources for a Directional Sleeve (NSN 1650-00-625-6630, P/N 6-61567-1) for the KC-135 platform, with responses due August 11, 2026. No set-aside is anticipated at this stage; the Government will use vendor responses to determine whether the requirement can be competitive or structured as a Small Business Set-Aside. This is a Sources Sought effort for market research purposes only—no solicitation is currently available, no funds are committed, and no contractual award will result from this notice.
Place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The Government estimates a spares requirement of 21 units (range 5–32 units). Interested sources must be capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for new manufacture, including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Suppliers may also be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, diminishing manufacturing sources mitigation, long-lead item procurement, and nonrecurring engineering costs.
The requirement falls under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The Government invites responses from all business types: large businesses, small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) firms, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone businesses, and women-owned small businesses. Interested vendors must select the "Add Me to Interested Vendors" button to participate. Submit responses to 423scms.guea.workflow@us.af.mil. The Government may consider breaking the requirement out by airframe.
