About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to procure an F-16 Wheel Speed Transducer through a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) sole source contract. The procurement is specifically targeted at acquiring technical data and drawings for this aircraft component, with Hydro-Aire Inc. (Cage Code 81982) being the primary source. The government has determined that reverse-engineering this part is neither plausible nor economically feasible, which necessitates obtaining original manufacturer specifications. Potential suppliers will need to either possess or obtain the required technical documentation directly from Hydro-Aire Inc. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 17, 2025, with responses due by April 1, 2025, indicating a relatively short response window for interested vendors.
No specific set-aside designations have been applied to this contract opportunity, making it open to a broader range of potential suppliers within the Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 336413) category. The contract is classified under Product Service Code 1630 for Aircraft Wheel and Brake Systems. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the sole source nature and specialized technical requirements suggest a potentially complex and high-value procurement. The contract appears focused on a specific, critical aerospace component for F-16 aircraft maintenance and sustainability. The procurement approach indicates a strategic effort to ensure reliable and authentic replacement parts through direct manufacturer engagement.
