About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is seeking sources for Catapult Electro-Explosive Devices (EED) used on F-22 aircraft under NSN 1377-01-488-1068. This pre-solicitation notice falls under the Explosives Manufacturing NAICS code 325920 and involves safety-critical components that require extensive qualification requirements for potential suppliers. Only United States and Canada suppliers will be considered for this procurement, reflecting the sensitive nature of the military application. The qualification process demands that potential offerors demonstrate comprehensive technical capabilities including facility readiness, data verification, process verification, and production testing at their own expense. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is July 7, 2025, providing interested parties with approximately two weeks from the June 23, 2025 posting date.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and Pacific Scientific is identified as the currently approved source for these components. The qualification process is estimated to require 360 days to complete, with government-unique testing costs ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 or more that must be borne by the qualifying supplier. Potential offerors must build and test qualification articles entirely at their own expense as part of the rigorous approval process. The stringent qualification requirements reflect the critical safety role these electro-explosive devices play in F-22 aircraft operations, where reliability and precision manufacturing are paramount. Successful qualification serves as a mandatory prerequisite for contract consideration but does not guarantee contract award.
