About this opportunity

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command at Laughlin AFB, Texas has issued a Sources Sought Notice for T-38 Wing & Stabilizer Covers under NAICS code 314910 (Textile Bag and Canvas Mills). The procurement seeks potential suppliers to manufacture protective hail covers for T-38C aircraft wings and horizontal stabilizers, with detailed specifications provided in the attached Technical Manual TO 1T-38C-2-2. Interested companies must demonstrate their capability to fulfill the requirement and provide comprehensive company information including contact details and business size classification. The government will evaluate responses based on the company's ability to meet the stated requirements, though no formal evaluation criteria are specified since this is an informational request only. Companies must submit their responses via email to SSgt Malik Mumpfield and Jose Pina by 4:30 PM Central Daylight Time on July 18, 2025, with the initial posting deadline having been July 15, 2025.

This Sources Sought Notice does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all business sizes, though the government specifically requests identification of small business categories including small disadvantaged businesses, HUB Zone firms, and veteran-owned enterprises. No incumbent contractors or current suppliers are mentioned in the documentation. The requirement calls for 57 complete sets of covers, with each set consisting of 2 wing covers and 2 horizontal stabilizer covers, totaling 228 individual protective covers. The contractor will first provide one prototype wing cover and one stabilizer cover for fit testing and inspection by designated government personnel (Mr. Vicente Mata or Mr. Ramon Garcia) before producing the full quantity. No budget range or estimated contract value is provided in this preliminary market research phase. The covers will be delivered directly to Laughlin AFB upon approval of the prototype and completion of the full production run.
