Remanufacture of Flap/Slat Support Assembly and Mechanical Transmission

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking remanufacturing services for Flap/Slat Support Assembly and Mechanical Transmission components used on B-1B aircraft. The procurement covers three specific end items identified by National Stock Numbers 1680-01-152-2000, 1560-01-148-4137, and 1680-01-142-7634, requiring complete disassembly, cleaning, inspection, maintenance, reassembly, testing, and finishing to restore components to like-new condition. Key contract requirements include 100% replacement of consumable parts, implementation of Item Unique Identification (IUID) marking systems, comprehensive quality control programs, detailed documentation for each remanufactured item, supply chain risk management, and compliance with cybersecurity and foreign influence regulations. Contractors must follow detailed technical orders, be capable of reverse engineering obsolete components, and submit to Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) oversight for quality acceptance. This is currently a pre-solicitation notice and sources sought synopsis issued on January 12, 2026, with a pre-solicitation due date of February 12, 2025, and interested vendors must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package to be considered.

No set-aside designations have been applied to this procurement, and the notice does not identify any current incumbents or contractors. The government is seeking interest from all business types, including small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) firms, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone small businesses, and women-owned small businesses. The estimated 5-year total repair requirement encompasses 225 units across the three part numbers, indicating a substantial and ongoing demand for remanufacturing services. While specific award values and budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation materials, the scope and technical complexity of the work suggest a significant contract value. Potential sources must obtain technical orders and engineering drawings through Air Force public sales channels and should understand that this current phase represents market research with no immediate solicitation or allocated funding, though a formal solicitation is expected to follow.
