The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through the 430th Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis for market research to identify potential sources for manufacturing 85 units of Augmentor Nozzle SE components (Part Number 07482, NSN 2840-01-616-1301PR) for the F110 aircraft platform. The procurement seeks manufacturers capable of complete new part production, including component manufacturing, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping, with potential responsibilities extending to supply chain management and logistics planning. The market research is open to all business categories, including Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Interested vendors must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package and submit their business information by the deadline of October 7, 2025. The actual procurement will be conducted through the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) with performance requirements at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is structured as an unrestricted competition. No incumbent contractors or current providers are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget ranges or award values have been disclosed at this market research stage. The requirement calls for exactly 85 units of the specialized augmentor nozzle components, though no specific timeline for delivery or performance period has been established in this preliminary phase. The government has emphasized that this is strictly a market research effort with no guarantee of future contract award and no currently available funding for the requirement. The Sources Sought Synopsis serves as an initial step to gauge industry capability and capacity before any potential formal solicitation process.
