About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential sources for Enhanced Drogue Rocket Motors (EDRM) used in B-2 aircraft operations. This Sources Sought Synopsis seeks to determine small business capabilities for engineering and manufacturing rocket motor components, specifically Part Number 1755-003 with Stock Number 1377015918912ES, under NAICS code 325920 (Explosive Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees. The Air Force is particularly interested in identifying small businesses including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns that can demonstrate relevant experience in engineering, manufacturing, inspection, and testing of similar remover cartridges within the past five years. Interested vendors must provide comprehensive company profiles including employee count, office location, CAGE Code, Unique Entity Identifier Number, and small business status. The response deadline is July 28, 2025, at 12:00 PM MST, with inquiries directed to Shasta Selwood at (801) 777-2973 or shasta.selwood@us.af.mil.
This opportunity indicates no set-aside designation is currently applied, and the government notes this procurement will be sole sourced to Rockwell Collins Inc (CAGE Code: 13499), which currently holds the capability and manufacturing drawings for these items. The procurement involves 21 units of the Enhanced Drogue Rocket Motor, and the government explicitly states it does not own the manufacturing data rights for these components. The synopsis emphasizes this is strictly market research for preliminary planning purposes to determine acquisition strategy, with no proposals or contracts to be awarded directly from this notice. There is a discrepancy in the government files regarding response deadlines, with one document indicating November 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM MST, though the primary notice specifies July 28, 2025. The government will not provide reimbursement for response preparation costs, and the market research serves solely to assess potential competitive sources for future procurement planning.
