The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through the 430th Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research for the procurement of a Control, Exhaust Nozzle component (Part Number 4083931, NSN 2995-01-450-2816NZ) for the F100 engine system. This Sources Sought Synopsis seeks to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing this aerospace component, with requirements including procurement and manufacture of component parts, inspection, testing, preservation and packaging, and shipping services. Qualified sources may also need to provide supply chain management and logistics planning capabilities, and could be responsible for nonrecurring engineering costs associated with becoming an approved source. The procurement falls under NAICS Code 336412 with a size standard of 1,500 employees, and interested vendors must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package. The submission deadline for all business information and SAR packages is September 23, 2025, with an estimated spares requirement projected for September 2026.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all business types, including Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The government file does not identify any current incumbents or existing contractors for this component. No specific contract values, budget ranges, or quantity requirements are disclosed in the market research documentation, as this represents a new spares procurement opportunity with no associated repair requirement. The place of performance is designated as Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, and this appears to be an initial sourcing effort for establishing approved suppliers for future procurement activities. The timeline indicates a relatively short response window of eight days from the posting date to the submission deadline.
