The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, operating through the 430th Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research for the procurement of nozzle segment turbine components (part number 4088060, NSN 2840-01-455-9142NZ) for the F100 engine system. This Sources Sought Synopsis seeks to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing these specialized turbine components, with requirements encompassing new manufacture, procurement, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping of the parts. The government is particularly interested in determining whether this procurement can be conducted competitively or should be set aside for small businesses, and is soliciting responses from all business categories including small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) certified companies, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone businesses, and women-owned small businesses. Interested vendors must submit detailed business information forms that include company details, NAICS codes, business size classifications, and ownership designations. The response deadline is October 31, 2025, and this market research effort carries no commitment to contract award.

This pre-solicitation notice indicates no set-aside designation has been determined at this time, as the market research is specifically intended to inform that decision. The estimated requirement is substantial at 501 units of the nozzle segment components, though no specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in the available documentation. No incumbent contractors or current suppliers are identified in the market research materials. The timeline spans from the October 1, 2025 posting date through the October 31, 2025 response deadline, with the actual procurement timeline to be determined following completion of the market research phase. This represents a significant spares procurement initiative for critical F100 engine components, with the government emphasizing that this is purely a market research exercise with no current solicitation available.
