About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Reserve Command, specifically the 482nd Contracting Flight at Homestead Air Reserve Base in Florida, is conducting a Sources Sought notice for the procurement of Flyaway Tools and a comprehensive tool kit. The government is seeking to identify qualified contractors capable of supplying 422 detailed tool and equipment items, including precision tools, drill sets, rivet tools, bucking bars, measuring instruments, and specialized aerospace manufacturing equipment. Interested firms must submit a Capabilities Statement by 9:00 AM EST on April 28, 2025, demonstrating full ability to provide all listed items. The evaluation will focus on company details, business type classification, System for Award Management (SAM) registration, and evidence of complete supply capabilities. Contractors must be registered under NAICS code 332216 (Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing), with the small business size standard set at 750 employees.

The Sources Sought notice does not currently have a specific set-aside designation, allowing both small and large businesses to potentially compete. The anticipated delivery period for the complete tool kit is 60 days after receipt of order (DARO), with submissions to be emailed to amanda.mckaig@us.af.mil using a specific subject line format. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the 422-item tool kit suggests a significant procurement opportunity. The government's market research aims to facilitate acquisition strategy decision-making and solidify market research for future potential solicitations. Contractors must be prepared to provide all personnel and materials needed to support the full requirement, with no partial responses accepted, indicating a comprehensive and holistic approach to the tool kit procurement.
