About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base seeks to procure Enhanced Drogue Rocket Motors (EDRM), which are explosive ejection seat components designed to provide thrust for sufficient altitude gain. These rocket motors are manufactured from machined metal and plastic with energetic propellant and are classified as UN0186 Rocket Motors with Hazard Class 1.3C explosives. Contractors must submit a qualification package per FAR 52.209-1 if not already qualified, and all responsible sources are invited to submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration. The government will evaluate submissions based on contractor qualifications and capability to meet the technical specifications outlined in the hazardous materials documentation provided. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 18, 2026, with the formal solicitation anticipated to be available on the SAM.gov portal by March 2, 2026, and a response deadline of March 9, 2026, with an estimated award date of approximately September 2026.
This procurement is not set-aside for small businesses, and the requirement is anticipated to be awarded as a sole source contract to Rockwell Collins (CAGE Code 13499), though all responsible sources may submit proposals for consideration. The government estimates procuring 46 units of the Enhanced Drogue Rocket Motor, identified by NSN 1377015918912 and part number 1755-003, with a net explosive weight of 0.325457 pounds per unit. While no specific contract value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the NAICS classification for explosives manufacturing (325920) and PSC code 1377 (Cartridge and Propellant Actuated Devices and Components) indicate the specialized nature of this procurement. Small businesses and other firms interested in subcontracting opportunities are encouraged to contact Rockwell Collins directly, as foreign participation is permitted at the prime contractor level, and the contract authority is funded through FY25 RDM Comp funding.
