The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through the 430th Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers for a liner, augmentor component (Part Number 4078304, NSN 2840-01-308-4469NZ). This procurement effort involves manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping of the component, along with potential supply chain management responsibilities. The Air Force is particularly interested in sourcing from Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone Small Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses as part of its market research to determine competitive versus set-aside procurement options. Interested vendors must submit a completed Source Approval Request (SAR) package including company name, CAGE code, business size classification, NAICS code, and relevant small business certifications by February 8, 2026. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on January 9, 2026, and represents an early opportunity for vendors to express interest and establish their capability to fulfill this requirement.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, meaning it will be awarded competitively based on the market research findings. The estimated requirement consists of 382 units of the liner, augmentor component. No current solicitation is available, and no funds have been allocated at this time, as the Air Force is still in the market research phase to assess supplier availability and competition. This pre-solicitation notice serves as an initial call for sources to submit their qualifications and business information, establishing a foundation for a formal solicitation that may follow upon completion of the market research analysis. Prospective vendors should note that submission of information at this stage does not guarantee consideration in any future solicitation but does position them as known sources within the Air Force's supplier database.
