About this opportunity
The 97th Contracting Squadron at Altus Air Force Base seeks 12 LMC18M87 Thrust Reverser Plug Sets for PW4000 engines in KC-46 Aircraft, with proposals due August 14, and questions due August 7 at 11:00 AM CST. This is a 100% small business set-aside under NAICS 336411, Aircraft Manufacturing, with a 1,500-employee size standard.
Place of performance is Altus AFB, Oklahoma, with delivery to 304 North 7th Street, Altus AFB, OK 73523, FOB Destination. The plugs must be configured as a 2-piece semi-circle set (left and right sides) rather than the standard 4-piece quarter-circle format. Each set includes a heavy-duty aviation fabric or reinforced vinyl outer shell with foam-filled or lightweight structural support to maintain shape retention. The plugs function as protective components safeguarding engines from foreign object debris, moisture intrusion, wildlife nesting, and environmental contamination, and must comply with OEM specifications.
All offerors must be registered in SAM.gov with a UEI number prior to quote submission; failure to register renders the firm ineligible for award. Quotations must remain valid for at least 30 days post-closure and 90 days from submission. Evaluation awards to the responsible offeror whose conforming offer is most advantageous to the Government, considering technical acceptability and price as primary factors with no particular order of importance. Technical submissions must be clear, concise, and sufficiently detailed to substantiate claims; generic language or simple restatement of salient characteristics is insufficient. Payment terms default to NET 30 days unless alternative discount terms are offered. The Government reserves the right to award without negotiations and to cancel the solicitation before or after closing if funds become unavailable, with no obligation to reimburse offerors for costs incurred. Submissions go to daric.giles@us.af.mil and 97CONF.PKA.Contracting@us.af.mil.
