About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Hill Air Force Base is conducting market research for F-16 Initiators through a Sources Sought Synopsis. The solicitation (Number FA8213-25-R-3005) seeks potential small business sources to manufacture initiator components under NAICS Code 325920 for explosive device manufacturing. Interested companies must provide a comprehensive company profile including employee count, office location, CAGE Code, DUNS Number, and small business designation. Respondents must demonstrate technical capabilities in engineering, manufacturing, inspection, and testing of explosive items, specifically F-16 Initiators. The synopsis lists 10 specific initiator part numbers with corresponding National Stock Numbers, and requires interested offerors to submit responses by May 21, 2025.
The procurement is not currently set aside exclusively for small businesses, but the government is particularly interested in 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, Hubzone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials currently holds the manufacturing capability and drawings for these initiator components, and the US Government does not own or have existing manufacturing data rights. While no specific award value is mentioned, the size standard for the NAICS category allows for businesses with up to 750 employees to qualify. Potential offerors should direct any questions to Roger Mott at roger.mott@us.af.mil, with the understanding that no reimbursement will be provided for response preparation costs. The procurement appears focused on maintaining and potentially expanding the supply chain for critical F-16 initiator components.
