About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking to procure 10 Connecting Links for the F100-PW-229 Engine, specifically a precision linkage (NSN 3040013215102NZ) that translates linear motion from an RCVV actuator to rotational motion. The components are to be manufactured from PWA 649-1 Nickel Alloy and will be used in aircraft engine applications at Tinker Air Force Base. Potential vendors must be qualified prior to contract award and are required to submit Source Approval Requests (SARs) electronically through DoD SAFE, demonstrating compliance with FAR 52.209-1 Qualification Requirements. The solicitation will be available exclusively on www.sam.gov, with an estimated release date of 23 May 2025 and a response closing date of 23 June 2025. Vendors are encouraged to submit SARs as soon as possible, and an Ombudsman is available to address contractor concerns during the proposal development phase.
The procurement is not set aside for any specific business category and appears to be targeting a sole-source award to Raytheon Technologies (RTX) Corporation, with an estimated contract value of $28,420.00. The contract is part of a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) case and supports a one-time spares buy for new manufacture of connecting links. Delivery is scheduled for 15 December 2027, with early delivery acceptable, and the item specifications include precise dimensions of 4.0000 x 4.0000 x 1.5000 inches, weighing approximately 1.5 pounds. Unique identifier (UID) requirements will apply if the unit price exceeds $5,000, and the procurement falls under the NAICS category 336412 for Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing. The contract will be administered by the Air Force Sustainment Center, with Clifford Darrington serving as the primary buyer contact.
