About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Global Strike Command is conducting market research for a Flight Test Data Recorder system through a sources sought notice under NAICS code 334515 (Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals). The procurement involves three distinct technical components: an MDR-8shRC Receiver for Removable RSM Media with up to 800 Mbit/s transfer rate and 8 slots, MMRG8A 75 Ohm PCM input modules capable of 8 x 20Mbit/s throughput, and UMS 512 Rugged Storage Modules with 480 GB storage capacity operating in extreme temperatures from -40°C to +71°C. This sources sought is strictly for market research purposes to assess vendor capabilities and determine small business interest for a potential small business set-aside. Interested vendors must indicate their capability by selecting the "Add me to interested vendors" button, with the response deadline set for August 29, 2025. Questions can be submitted to carson.johnson.1@us.af.mil and jessica.simon.1@us.af.mil throughout the market research period.

The government is specifically seeking to determine interest from various small business categories including Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses, with the SBA size standard set at 750 employees for this NAICS code. No current incumbents or contractors are identified in the available documentation, and no specific award values or budget ranges have been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. The technical specifications indicate requirements for high-capacity data recording and transfer capabilities, with the system needing to operate in harsh environmental conditions typical of flight test operations. The government emphasizes that this market research effort does not constitute a formal solicitation and that responding vendors are not guaranteed inclusion in any future procurement actions. The timeline suggests an accelerated market research phase with only ten days allocated for vendor responses, indicating potential urgency in the government's procurement planning process.
