About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Wright Patterson Air Force Base is procuring two 5-ton stainless steel screw jacks configured specifically for the Gray Eagle Rapid Transport System trailer used by USSOCOM MQ-1C ER aircraft. The jack screws are made-to-order, open market items designed to enable landing gear retraction and extension during expeditionary operations. Contractors must provide one left-hand and one right-hand screw jack constructed from 17-4PH stainless steel with a 24:1 gear ratio, 29-inch travel distance, and 8.50-inch closed height, manufactured in a qualifying country. The government will evaluate quotes based on technical acceptability and lowest price, with awards made using Firm Fixed Price terms. The current deadline for quote submission is November 21, 2025, following multiple amendments that extended the original September 25, 2025, deadline due to government shutdowns. Interested vendors should direct inquiries to TSgt Mark Baker at mark.baker.29@us.af.mil, as the original contracting officer Lt. Manning is no longer managing the acquisition.
This solicitation is set aside 100% for small businesses under NAICS code 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees, with no incumbent contractors identified in the documentation. Delivery is required within 35 work days from the date of award, with fabrication unable to commence until the original equipment manufacturer receives drawing approval, and the product must be ready to ship within 8 weeks of order and approval. All quotes must be submitted electronically and vendors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible for consideration. The place of performance is Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, where inspection and acceptance will occur, and any vehicles larger than a pickup truck will require inspection at the Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate with strict adherence to entry protocols. No specific budget ceiling has been identified in the solicitation documents provided.
