About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Joint Base San Antonio is conducting a sources sought notice to identify potential manufacturers for a specialized Filter Insertion System (FIS) screen. The specific item of interest is a Screen Assembly, Filter, U-1 Foil (Part # MAT-A-1169), which requires precise manufacturing of a wire mesh filter screen and accompanying ring made from 304 or 316 stainless steel. Interested small businesses must be ISO 9001 certified and demonstrate capability in producing complex metal components with highly specialized specifications. Potential contractors are required to submit a capability statement detailing prior manufacturing experience, technical approach, available equipment, and quality control processes. Responses must be received by 10:00 a.m. local San Antonio, TX time on Friday, April 4, 2025, with submissions directed to Latoya Perry-Jenkins and Andrew Sorensen via their provided email addresses.
The sources sought notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified small businesses within the Other Fabricated Wire Product Manufacturing (NAICS 332618) category. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the documentation. The technical drawings specify precise manufacturing requirements, including a #4 mesh size with 79% open area, 0.2220 x 0.2220 inch openings, and 0.028" wire diameter. The mesh must be constructed using a square woven plain weave method with specific intercrimp spacing and resistance seam welding. While the notice is informational and does not constitute an official solicitation, it serves as a market research tool for the Air Force to identify potential manufacturers capable of meeting their exacting technical specifications for these specialized filter screens.
