About this opportunity
Naval Air Systems Command (PMA-265) intends to issue a firm fixed price competitive solicitation for non-recurring engineering to design, develop, fabricate, and deliver conformal anodes for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G nose landing gear and main landing gear, with a response deadline of September 25, 2026. The work supports transition from legacy cadmium plating to Low Hydrogen Embrittlement zinc/nickel plating.
Under the effort, the contractor will design and fabricate conformal anodes and associated technical drawings and anode cases; perform first article inspection in conjunction with the existing landing gear overhaul line; conduct current density analysis to confirm adequate thickness and uniformity of zinc/nickel plating; and update the Technical Data Package to support the transition. No set-aside applies. This notice is for informational purposes only; the Government is not currently seeking proposals and will not reimburse review or response costs. A formal solicitation will be released at SAM.gov at a future date.

The F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Program Office (PMA-265) intends to issue a firm fixed price competitive solicitation for non-recurring engineering (NRE) for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Nose Landing Gear (NLG) and Main Landing Gear (MLG) Conformal Anodes to facilitate the transition from legacy Cadmium (CAD) plating to Low Hydrogen Embrittlement (LHE) Zinc/Nickel (Zn/Ni) plating. Under this effort, the Contractor will design, develop, fabricate, and deliver conformal anodes, associated technical drawings, and anode cases for Zn/Ni plating for the specified landing gear components. The Contractor will be responsible for performing first article inspection (FAI) in conjunction with the existing landing gear overhaul line and confirm, through current density analysis reports, adequate thickness and uniformity of Zn/Ni plating. In addition, the Contractor will also be required to provide the necessary updates to the Technical Data Package to support the transition to Zn/Ni.
