Swagelok components

Peterson Space Force Base's 21st Contracting Squadron is conducting a market research Sources Sought announcement to identify qualified vendors for the supply of Swagelok components and related industrial items, including 316 stainless steel VCR face seal fittings, 316L VAR VCR fittings, high purity bellows sealed valves, tungsten electrodes, and tube buttweld caps. The Department of the Air Force Space Command is issuing this notice under FAR Part 10 to gather vendor capability information rather than solicit formal quotes. Responses must address seven specific technical and operational questions, including fastest delivery times to Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station in Colorado, alternative NAICS codes applicability, availability of pre-priced contract vehicles, open market procurement requirements, bulk discount availability, warranty options, and complete company contact information. The Government is not seeking quotes at this stage and explicitly will not accept unsolicited quotes; instead, vendors should focus on providing factual capability information to enable the contracting officer's market analysis. Responses must be submitted via email to Contract Specialist A1C William Bailey and Contracting Officer Philip Choate by February 24, 2026, at 9:00 A.M. Mountain Time.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside with a NAICS code of 423840 (Industrial Supplies Merchant Wholesalers) and a small business size standard of 125 employees. The procurement encompasses seven distinct Swagelok part numbers with quantities ranging from 30 to 106 units per item. No incumbent contractor is identified in this pre-solicitation notice, and no award value or budget range has been disclosed at this stage. The Sources Sought announcement is intended purely for market research purposes to gather vendor information and assess the competitive landscape prior to issuing a formal solicitation. Following the February 24, 2026 response deadline, the contracting officer may post an amendment providing answers to vendor questions or requesting additional information to further develop the Government's procurement strategy.
