About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Test Center is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources for F-35 Panoramic Cockpit Display and Standby Flight Display systems. This sources sought notice is informational in nature and will not result in a contract award or reimbursement for respondents' efforts. The government seeks qualified suppliers capable of manufacturing display systems meeting specific technical requirements, including a panoramic cockpit display with an 8x20 viewing area, 2560x1024 image resolution, integrated infrared touchscreen, high-intensity LED backlight with brightness exceeding 200 foot-lamberts, and NVIS compatibility. Interested offerors must submit company identification information, DUNS and CAGE codes, points of contact, a description of relevant experience, and business size classification by the March 27, 2026 deadline. The Air Force has indicated it is under no obligation to provide feedback or request clarification from submitting companies.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small business entities are eligible for eventual contract award. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide a specific contract value or quantity of units to be procured. The government's primary objective in this market survey phase is to establish a database of potentially qualified sources and understand their business classifications before issuing a formal solicitation. A critical delivery requirement specifies 150 calendar days after receipt of order for product delivery. The standby flight display component features a smaller 3ATI indicator with 480x480 pixel resolution and must also incorporate high-intensity LED backlighting and NVIS compatibility to meet the F-35 aircraft integration standards.
