The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research for the manufacture of a Turbine Frame (Part Number 1461M87G26, National Stock Number 2840-01-685-4338) specifically for the F110 platform at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The agency is seeking potential manufacturers capable of providing comprehensive production services, including labor, materials, facilities, equipment, component parts procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Manufacturers must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package according to Manufacturing Qualification Requirements (MQR-PSD-1) and submit responses electronically through DoD SAFE by February 4, 2025. The procurement will utilize NAICS code 336412 with a size standard of 1,500 employees, and the government will consider submissions from all business types, including large businesses, 8(a)s, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Questions regarding the opportunity should be directed to the AFSC Small Business Office.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation, meaning all qualified businesses can compete for the contract. The estimated spares requirement date is September 30, 2024, with this being specifically noted as a new spares buy and not a repair requirement. While no specific award value is mentioned in the documentation, the procurement is for a new manufacture of a critical turbine frame component for military aviation. The government's approach suggests a flexible acquisition strategy that aims to maximize competition and provide opportunities for diverse business types. The detailed manufacturing qualification requirements indicate that potential contractors will need to demonstrate significant technical capabilities and manufacturing expertise in aerospace component production to be considered for this contract opportunity.
