Request for Information for Aircraft Accessories

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Air Force Sustainment Center is seeking market research through this Request for Information (RFI) for aircraft accessories repair and manufacturing services to support the 423rd SCMS Accessories Multiple Award Contract. The procurement involves a Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for repairing, testing, overhauling, and manufacturing aircraft accessory parts at Tinker Air Force Base, with components supporting various military aircraft including the KC-135, C-130, and B-52 platforms. The contract falls under NAICS Code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Interested contractors must submit responses using the provided Contractor Capability Survey form by September 4, 2025, at 12:00 PM CST. The anticipated Request for Proposal (RFP) is projected for release in early 2026, with the government conducting this market research to identify potential sources capable of handling diverse aircraft components including valves, tanks, actuators, gearboxes, fans, pumps, heat exchangers, and servovalves.

The procurement is subject to a partial set-aside for small businesses, with task orders divided between small business and full and open competition pools. The government is contemplating a 10-year contract structure consisting of a five-year base period and a five-year option period. No current funding is available for this opportunity, with funding to be obligated on individual task orders as they are issued. The comprehensive NSN listing provided includes detailed inventory information for various aircraft components and accessories across multiple weapon systems, indicating the broad scope of potential repair and manufacturing requirements. No incumbent contractors or specific award values are mentioned in the documentation, though the IDIQ structure with planned ordering periods suggests this will be a significant, ongoing support contract for Air Force aircraft maintenance operations.
