Critically, all offerors and their sources of supply must maintain active United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification to access export-controlled technical data, as this acquisition involves data restricted by the Arms Export Control Act. The government holds all rights to the technical data package with no restrictions on engineering, tooling, or manufacturing information. Responses to this sources sought notice are due by April 27, 2026, though this is a pre-solicitation notice with no current solicitation available and no government commitment to issue a future award.

This acquisition is designated as a 100% Small Business set-aside under FAR 19.1505 procedures specifically targeting Women-Owned Small Businesses, though the government also welcomes responses from 8(a), small disadvantaged business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, and HUBZone small business concerns. The applicable NAICS code is 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees and PSC Class Code 15. No award value, budget range, or quantity specifications are disclosed in this sources sought notice, as this is preliminary market research rather than an active solicitation. Submission of information is strictly voluntary with no government obligation to provide funds for response preparation or to award any future contract. Interested parties should note that no formal solicitation is currently available, and this notice serves to identify the government's future procurement needs and potential supplier universe.
