About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Air Mobility Command is seeking to procure flash point testing equipment through this pre-solicitation notice. Flash point testers are analytical laboratory instruments used to determine the lowest temperature at which a liquid can vaporize to form an ignitable mixture with air, critical for safety and regulatory compliance in aviation fuel and lubricant testing. The procurement falls under NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and PSC 6640 (Laboratory Equipment and Supplies). Interested contractors must submit sources sought responses by April 20, 2026, with the opportunity designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete. The government will evaluate proposals based on criteria outlined in the attached Statement of Need and Sources Sought documents, which provide detailed technical specifications and evaluation factors. This pre-solicitation phase allows the government to gather market information before issuing a formal solicitation.
The opportunity is restricted exclusively to small business concerns under the Total Small Business set-aside designation. While specific award values and quantities are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice itself, interested contractors should consult the attached Statement of Need dated March 5, 2026, and Sources Sought documentation for comprehensive technical requirements, performance specifications, and procurement volume details. The compressed timeline from posting on April 14, 2026, to the sources sought due date of April 20, 2026, indicates the government's intent to move expeditiously toward formal solicitation and contract award. Contractors meeting the small business size standard for the analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing industry and capable of meeting Air Mobility Command's operational requirements are encouraged to submit detailed capability statements demonstrating relevant experience and technical expertise.
