About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Hill Air Force Base is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis for the FMU-167/B Hard Target Void Sensing Fuze production. The primary objective is to identify potential contractors capable of manufacturing a specialized fuze with specific technical requirements, including penetration capabilities through multiple layers of soil and reinforced concrete. The fuze must be manufactured at a minimum rate of 3,000 units per year and include cockpit-selectable void sensing, time delay, and backup timer functions. Responses are due by March 17, 2025, and the government is seeking detailed information from potential vendors about their manufacturing capabilities. The market research aims to determine if the procurement can be competitive and potentially set aside for small businesses under NAICS code 332993.
The solicitation specifically seeks responses from all small businesses, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business categories. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation is currently identified as a known qualified vendor, though the government does not own the Technical Data Package for the FMU-167/B. The fuze specifications include a gross weight of 6.3 pounds, net explosive weight of 0.389 pounds, and dimensions of 7.4" length by 2.88" diameter, with mounting hardware compatible with standard 3" bomb fuze wells. While no specific award value is mentioned, the requirement for 3,000 units per year suggests a potentially significant manufacturing contract. The size standard for the NAICS category is set at 1,500 employees, which will help determine small business eligibility for the potential procurement.
