About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify potential suppliers for Minuteman Propulsion System (MPTS) Rocket Engine Test Valves and related components for Hill Air Force Base. This market research effort seeks to determine industry capability and capacity to provide the specified parts, with particular emphasis on small business participation including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Respondents must demonstrate experience providing MPTS rocket engine test valves, clarify their relationship to original equipment manufacturers (OEM), and provide authorization status with Emerson, the primary component supplier. The government will use submitted responses to evaluate competitive potential and determine the appropriate acquisition strategy, though this is an information-gathering exercise only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or obligation. Interested parties must submit detailed responses including company name, CAGE code, points of contact, small business registration status, teaming arrangements, and descriptions of similar services provided to government and commercial customers over the past three years to Audrey.Armstrong.4@us.af.mil by January 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM EST.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation, though the government actively welcomes small business responses and will consider small business status during acquisition planning. The equipment list identifies five specific line items from Emerson, including Normally Open Solenoid Valve Kits, Pressure Reducing Regulators, Electro-Pneumatic Controllers, and Solenoid Valves, with quantities ranging from one to six units per line item. The applicable NAICS code is 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees, and the PSC category is 4820 (Valves, Nonpowered). The government specifies a delivery timeline not to exceed 120 days after receipt of order (ARO). No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the primary purpose is to conduct market research and assess the competitive landscape before issuing a formal solicitation.
