About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is soliciting bids for fire extinguisher cartridges used in F-15 aircraft egress systems through Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contracts. The procurement involves critical safety items classified as Cartridge Actuated Devices/Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD) that require stringent qualification requirements, with only suppliers from the United States and Canada eligible to participate. Offerors must undergo a comprehensive pre-contract qualification process estimated to cost between $5,000 and $50,000 and taking approximately 360 days to complete, demonstrating technical capabilities through facility evaluations, data verification, and production of qualification articles. The evaluation will prioritize technical factors significantly over price, focusing on qualified vendor status and detailed project schedules with Work Breakdown Structures, rated on a color-coded scale from Blue (Outstanding) to Red (Unacceptable). The solicitation was posted on August 14, 2025, with proposals due by October 15, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and currently has three approved qualified sources: Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company (PSEMC), Meggitt Safety Systems Inc., and Applied Energy Technology Corp. The contract covers a total of 259 fire extinguisher cartridges distributed across multiple FMS cases: 110 units for Korea, 72 for Qatar, 8 for Saudi Arabia, and 69 for Singapore across multiple line items. Each cartridge is steel-based with a 0.0008 pound explosive charge, measuring 1.53 inches in length and 0.40 inches in diameter, and classified as Hazard Class Division 1.4S. The cartridges carry NSN 1377-00-280-0272 and must comply with extensive quality requirements including ISO 9001:2015 standards, comprehensive documentation through Ammunition Data Cards, and strict packaging and marking specifications. Performance will occur within the United States, with delivery from Continental United States sources under origin F.O.B. terms.
