The 60th Contracting Squadron at Travis AFB is conducting market research to identify potential sources for these specialized tools, with a focus on determining the availability of small businesses including Small Disadvantaged Businesses, HUBZone Firms, Certified 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, and Woman Owned Small Businesses.

The procurement will fall under NAICS Category 332510 for Hardware Manufacturing and PSC Category 5120 for Hand Tools.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside for this procurement, and no incumbent contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The sources sought notice explicitly states that this is market research and does not guarantee the issuance of a Request for Quotation or contract. The current requirement stems from the 60MXS Fabrication Flight's need for additional ForceTec tooling kits beyond their existing single kit, with the goal of ensuring uninterrupted maintenance operations. The tooling kit includes specific components such as starting drills, reamers, trimming tools, combination gages, mandrel check gages, FTCX nosecaps, mandrels, and flared sleeves in various sizes. While no specific award value is provided, the quote referenced in the Statement of Need (Quote #216087) includes a 12-month warranty and covers freight, handling, and labor charges for delivery to Travis AFB.
