Repair of C-130 Servo Mount Motor

The United States Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center, operating through the 422nd Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify potential contractors capable of repairing servo motors and mounts for C-130 aircraft. The procurement involves repair services for two specific part numbers (792-6781-003 and 792-6785-002) with National Stock Numbers 6615-01-037-7780 and 6615-01-065-9448. Potential contractors must complete a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating technical proficiency, quality assurance capabilities, and compliance with standards such as AS9100 or ISO 9001:2008. The evaluation will focus on ensuring operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness of repaired items, with the Engineering Support Activity reviewing submitted packages and potentially requiring additional testing or production verification. Interested parties must submit their responses by October 10, 2025, and the government emphasizes that technical data will not be provided, requiring contractors to independently acquire necessary technical documentation.

This opportunity operates under NAICS code 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees and includes no set-aside designation, making it open to all qualified businesses including Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The estimated repair quantities range from 5 to 30 units per option, though specific contract values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this market research phase. Contractors seeking technical documentation can request Technical Orders through the TO Public Sales process for $65 per approved order, with engineering drawings available through a separate request process at $30 per line item with a $150 minimum fee. The government has made clear that this Sources Sought Synopsis is purely for market research purposes with no guaranteed contract award, and responses must be submitted electronically through DoD SAFE. The procurement falls under the critical safety and critical application items category, requiring rigorous qualification and approval processes to ensure mission-critical aircraft component reliability.
