About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is conducting market research to procure specialized aircraft ejection seat and parachute cutter assemblies for multiple aircraft platforms, including A-10, B-1, B-2, F-15, F-16, F-22, and F-117. The procurement seeks three specific National Stock Number cutter assemblies: a Reefing Line Cutter Assembly with a 1.15 second delay, a Survival Kit Locking Cord Cutter Assembly with a 4.0 second delay, and a Drogue Chute Cutter Assembly with a 0.25 second delay. Interested manufacturers are required to submit a comprehensive company profile detailing employee count, office location, CAGE Code, DUNS Number, and small business status. The market research aims to determine if the procurement can be set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 325920 with a size standard of 750 employees. Potential suppliers must demonstrate relevant experience in engineering, manufacturing, inspection, and testing of similar egress components within the last three years, with responses originally due by 3:00 PM and questions directed to Roger Mott at 801-777-7358.
The pre-solicitation notice does not specify a specific set-aside designation, though it is exploring small business opportunities. Roberts Research Laboratories currently holds the manufacturing capability and drawings for these items, and the US Government does not own or have rights to the manufacturing data. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned, the procurement targets critical aerospace safety components across multiple aircraft platforms. The synopsis indicates a potential procurement for three specific cutter assemblies, suggesting a targeted and precise acquisition strategy. The market research phase will help determine the competitive landscape and potential small business participation in manufacturing these specialized ejection seat and parachute components. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 25, 2025, with an initial response deadline of April 8, 2025, signaling an expedited acquisition process for these critical aerospace components.
