About this opportunity

Air Combat Command is conducting a sources sought for a swagging tool kit to be deployed at Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, with capability statements due by August 7, 2026 at 12:00 P.M. MDT. This is a market analysis only; no solicitation has been released.

The kit must be a fully portable, field-deployable system for flightline and hangar maintenance of critical aircraft structural components. All mechanical swaging, cutting, and proof-loading tools must use standard, low-profile socket-style attachments compatible with commercial-off-the-shelf manual drive systems (hand wrenches, ratchets, manual torque wrenches in 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch square drives) to enable in-place repairs within tight structural cavities without removing adjacent assemblies. The system must support both MS14101 and MS14103 standardized aircraft spherical bearings across dash sizes three through sixteen. Required components include tri-roller roll-swaging tools, precision cutting tools, installation and removal adapters with positive-alignment pilots, two digital handheld load cells (3,000-pound and 5,000-pound capacity with ruggedized digital displays), a portable depth gauge (0.000 to 1.000 inch range, 0.001 inch increments), and in-place proof-load testing capability. Measurement accuracy must be 0.5 percent or better of full-scale capacity.

All primary mechanical tools, swage bodies, cutters, adapters, and load cells must be manufactured in the United States and comply with the Buy American Act and DFARS requirements. All non-consumable mechanical tooling must carry lifetime replacement warranty for defects in materials, design, and workmanship. Both digital load cells and the depth gauge must include NIST-traceable calibration certificates valid for a minimum of twelve months from government acceptance.

Interested parties must submit capability statements via email to mitchell.bryk@us.af.mil and jayna.clements@us.af.mil. Statements must include company information (name, address, UEI, CAGE code, point of contact with name, title, phone, and email), active GSA or DoD contract numbers, business size, and socio-economic status under NAICS 333514.
