About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is seeking to procure re-manufacturing services for F-16 Canopy Jettison Rocket Motors, critical safety components that enable pilot ejection systems. This procurement involves two specific part numbers (1517-001 and 1517-002) corresponding to NSNs 1377-01-327-7873ES and 1377-01-327-7872ES respectively. Contractors must meet stringent qualification requirements including facilities verification, data and process verification, comprehensive testing and evaluation procedures, and qualification article demonstration, with the qualification process estimated to take approximately 360 days. Only suppliers from the United States and Canada will be considered due to the safety-critical nature of these rocket motors. The pre-solicitation notice indicates that the formal solicitation will be posted on SAM.gov on approximately June 27, 2025, with an estimated award date of August 2025.
This procurement is not set aside for small businesses and represents a sole source action restricted to qualified vendors, with Rockwell Collins, Inc. (CAGE: 13499) specifically identified as a qualified source. The attached Justification for Qualification Requirements document identifies two currently approved sources: Collins and Nammo Talley, with their respective part numbers. The contract calls for a total quantity of 400 units (200 each of the two part numbers) with a delivery schedule of 24 months after receipt of order. Qualification costs for new suppliers could range from $5,000 to over $50,000 for government-unique testing and evaluation, though qualification as an approved source does not guarantee contract award. The procurement falls under NAICS code 325920 for Explosives Manufacturing and PSC code 1337 for Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Explosive Propulsion Units.
