About this opportunity
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential small business sources for manufacturing T-38 Aircraft Egress Components, specifically two initiator components: a T-38 Initiator Cartridge and a T-38 Initiator Time Delay. The agency is seeking companies with expertise in explosive manufacturing (NAICS code 325920) that can demonstrate relevant engineering, manufacturing, inspection, and technical capabilities for producing dual mechanically fired initiators within the past five years. Interested companies must provide a comprehensive company profile including employee count, office location, CAGE Code, DUNS Number, and small business designation. The sources sought synopsis requires respondents to submit their information by 3:00 PM on June 30, 2025, with questions directed to Capt. Sposato or Tyson Tharp via specified email addresses. The government emphasizes that no reimbursement will be provided for response costs and that offerors must have access to all appropriate technical data.
The procurement is open to various small business designations, including 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small businesses with a size standard of 750 employees. Current sources for these components include Rockwell Collins and Chemring Energetic Devices, who possess existing capabilities and technical drawings. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the synopsis indicates this is a procurement for U.S. Air Force and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements. The targeted small businesses will be evaluated based on their ability to manufacture two specific National Stock Number (NSN) initiator components: NSN 1377-01-494-0471 and NSN 1377-01-494-0468. The Air Force is conducting this market research to potentially expand its supply base for critical aircraft egress component manufacturing.
