About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command is seeking potential sources to provide two F-35 Fuel Stands through a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the 301st Contracting Flight at Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth. The fuel stands must comply with CFR 1910 Subpart D "Walking-Working Surfaces", DAFMAN 91-203, and Technical Order 1-1-3 requirements, meeting both USAF and OSHA safety standards. Interested manufacturers in the Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing sector (NAICS 336413) with up to 1,250 employees are invited to respond to detailed capability questions covering production experience, metal structure fabrication, and commercial viability. Respondents must address supply chain considerations, quality assurance processes, production capacity, and warranty terms, and provide a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate. The response deadline is February 7, 2025, with interested parties encouraged to contact Contracting Officer Todd Benner or Contract Specialist Emily Crotta via email.
The solicitation indicates no specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. The Air Force anticipates using a Firm-Fixed-Price contract with FOB Destination delivery terms, though specific award values were not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The procurement seeks two fuel stands, with full technical documentation including redacted parts manuals and restricted drawings to be made available once the formal solicitation is posted. While the exact contract duration is not specified, the RFI suggests a near-term procurement timeline with potential implementation in the upcoming fiscal year. The technical complexity of the F-35 Fuel Stands, which must meet stringent military and safety specifications, indicates this will be a specialized procurement requiring advanced manufacturing capabilities and precise engineering specifications.
