The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential sources for manufacturing temperature sensor elements (NSN 2925-14-520-1469, P/N 301-798-601-0) for the F108 engine platform located at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The government seeks vendors capable of providing comprehensive manufacturing services, including labor, materials, facilities, equipment, component parts procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Vendors will potentially need to manage supply chain logistics, production forecasting, and address diminishing manufacturing sources challenges. Interested companies must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package and may be required to invest in nonrecurring engineering costs to become an approved source. The government is open to receiving submissions from diverse business types, including large businesses, small businesses, 8(a)s, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses.

This pre-solicitation notice does not have a specific set-aside designation and currently represents a market research effort without a committed award. The posting date is January 9, 2025, with responses due by January 17, 2025. No specific award value or budget range is currently disclosed in the documentation. The procurement is specifically focused on new manufacture of temperature sensor elements for the F108 engine platform, with performance expected to occur at Tinker Air Force Base. While the notice emphasizes comprehensive manufacturing capabilities, it explicitly states that this document does not constitute a commitment to award a contract. Potential vendors should carefully prepare their Source Approval Request packages to demonstrate their technical capabilities, manufacturing readiness, and potential to meet the government's complex production requirements.
