About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Space Command's 21st Contracting Squadron at Peterson Space Force Base is conducting market research for a highly specialized Brannen Brothers Handmade Brogger Flute featuring a 15/85 Gold-Silver Alloy construction with JR Lafin specifications. The procurement falls under NAICS code 339992 (Musical Instrument Manufacturing) and requires a sophisticated professional-grade instrument with precise technical characteristics including French open holes, pinless Brogger mechanism, soldered silver tone holes, white gold springs, and advanced features such as Offset G, Split E Mechanism, C# trill key, D# roller, and B footjoint tuned to A=442. The government is seeking information from potential suppliers regarding delivery times, product specifications, warranty details, and company capabilities to determine the appropriate procurement method. Questions from interested parties are due by July 16, 2025, at 09:00 AM Mountain Time, while complete responses must be submitted by July 18, 2025, at 12:00 PM Mountain Time. Responses should be submitted electronically to Contract Specialist SrA Cristina Dobhriste and Contracting Officer SSgt Kaylie Anderson.
This opportunity is designated as a total small business set-aside, with the small business size standard established at 1,000 employees for companies in the musical instrument manufacturing sector. The sources sought notice does not identify any current incumbents or specify award values, as this represents preliminary market research rather than a formal solicitation. The government has emphasized that this market research does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract, and all costs associated with preparing responses are the responsibility of the respondent. The flute specifications indicate a single, high-value instrument procurement featuring premium materials including 15/85 alloy construction, silver components, 14K gold riser and wings, and specialized professional-grade mechanisms. An amendment to the original sources sought notice was issued on July 3, 2025, though the specific changes are not detailed in the available documentation.
