About this opportunity
The Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) is conducting a sources sought notice to determine acquisition strategy and identify potential prime contractors for total integrated sustainment of sixty IUID marking systems across the Air Force logistics network, with responses due by September 28, 2026. This is market research under FAR Part 10, not a solicitation, and the Government will use the information to assess competition, evaluate small business capabilities, and determine feasibility of socioeconomic set-asides.
No set-aside is anticipated at this stage. The IUID marking systems fleet is distributed geographically across four Air Force Logistics Complex locations: Tinker AFB, Oklahoma (18 units); Hill AFB, Utah (26 units); Warner Robins AFB, Georgia (9 units); and Kadena AFB, Japan (2 units). Equipment includes Epilog lasers, Clamshell marking systems, Revolution marking systems, Foil Star marking equipment, Zebra printers, and Brady marking equipment, with TRIAD II and TRIAD II/Majic Mark compliance designations indicating federal identification standards alignment.
The requirement encompasses TRIAD II software licensing, maintenance, and patch management for the fleet. NAICS 811310 and PSC J036 (special industry machinery repair and maintenance) apply. The Air Force IUID Program supports end-to-end asset visibility, inventory accountability, and lifecycle traceability for critical weapon system parts and depot-level repairables across Air Force logistics.
Responses are voluntary and at respondent expense; the Government will not reimburse costs or commit to a solicitation based on this notice.
