About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking a small business contractor to remanufacture KC-135 Flutter Dampeners, critical components that provide proportional airspeed feedback in aircraft control systems. The flutter dampener is a precision-engineered part measuring 14.00" x 4.00" x 14.00", weighing 9.6 lbs, and constructed from stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze. The solicitation will require engineering source approval from the design control activity, with specific qualification requirements for potential vendors. The government plans to issue the full solicitation around March 12, 2025, with vendor responses due by April 14, 2025. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability to meet exacting manufacturing specifications and deliver the specialized aerospace components.
The procurement is structured as a 5-year firm-fixed-price requirements contract, consisting of a 3-year base period with quantities of 45 units and a 2-year option period with 25 additional units. Delivery requirements specify 6 units every 45 days after order receipt, with early delivery deemed acceptable. While initially indicated as a small business set-aside, there is some inconsistency in the documentation regarding the precise set-aside status. The contract falls under NAICS category 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of J016 for maintenance and repair of aircraft components. Vendors are permitted to identify potential commercial solutions within 15 days of the notice, though the acquisition will not utilize commercial item procedures under FAR Part 12.
