Remanufacture of Centrifugal Fan

The United States Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, through the Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the remanufacture of centrifugal fan components used on B-52 aircraft platforms. This pre-solicitation notice seeks contractors capable of providing complete repair, test, preservation, packaging, and return of fan units to like-new condition, along with supply chain management, logistics, parts forecasting, long-lead procurement, reparable forecasting, and obsolescence management services. Potential sources must comply with RQR-848 specifications, which require submission of a Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating compliance with quality assurance standards such as AS9100, ISO 9001:2015, or equivalent certifications, as well as NADCAP or OEM/DoD approval for specified industrial processes including heat treatment, welding, coating, and non-destructive inspection methods. The Government intends to use information gathered from responses to determine the best acquisition strategy and whether the requirement can be competitive or set aside for small business; responses to the market research inquiry must be submitted to 423scms.guea.inquiries@us.af.mil by March 2, 2026, with SAR packages submitted electronically to 429SCMS.SASPO.Workflow@us.af.mil and corey.wilson.1@us.af.mil. The evaluation will consider all business types, including small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) businesses, HUBZone small businesses, women-owned small businesses, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.

This opportunity is not designated as a set-aside and currently identifies no incumbent contractors. The requirement encompasses three part numbers with five-year total basic equivalent quantities totaling 140 units: part number 3001014-10 (NSN 4140-01-631-5045TP) requiring 120 units, part number MSA10767 (NSN 4140-00-775-6836TP) requiring 15 units, and part number MSA7484A (NSN 4140-00-602-5573TP) requiring 5 units. No funds are currently available under this market research notice, and no contract award value or budget range has been specified at this pre-solicitation stage. The place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma 73145, and potential sources should note that the Government does not currently have technical data available; interested contractors may need to independently acquire necessary technical data by contacting the Tinker AFB Public Sales Office at AFLCMC.LZP.PUBSALES@us.af.mil or (405) 736-3868/3197, with a $65 fee per approved Technical Order.
