F-5 Parts Repair and Return

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify potential contractors for F-5 aircraft parts repair and return services. The procurement involves repair and restoration of three primary components: a Rotary Electro-Mechanical Actuator, a Power Supply, and a Stability Augmentation Test Set, with the goal of restoring parts to serviceable condition (Condition Code A). Contractors must meet stringent qualifications including maintenance of an AS9110-equivalent quality management system, proper management of Critical Safety Items (CSIs), and comprehensive technical documentation capabilities. Award decisions will be based on past performance, technical acceptability, proposal risk, and price under a fair opportunity process among multiple prime contractors. The deadline for submitting responses to this market research inquiry is January 30, 2026, at 1:00 PM MST, with electronic submissions directed to contracting officers Danielle Stiff and Mark Parker at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.

This pre-solicitation notice does not include a set-aside designation, though the government is specifically exploring whether a total Small Business Set-Aside is viable, with interest in 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Business concerns. No incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in the available materials. Interested contractors should be prepared to address NAICS codes 336413, 541330, and/or 811219, demonstrating capability in aircraft parts manufacturing, engineering services, and repair/maintenance operations. The performance work statement indicates repair and evaluation activities must be completed within 12 months of contract award, with individual repair work orders authorized to be finished within 120 days. This is a foreign military sales (FMS) contract with planned procurement in Fiscal Year 2026, and submission of responses to this Sources Sought Synopsis does not guarantee consideration in any future solicitation.
