About this opportunity

The Air Force Sustainment Center at Tinker Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential sources for KC-135 aircraft trim tab spares (NSN 1560-01-473-2529FL, P/N 527-13505-2) by August 19, 2026; this is a Sources Sought synopsis for market research only, with no solicitation currently available and no funds allocated for responses.

The government intends to procure a maximum quantity of 30 units of new-manufacture trim tabs and is evaluating whether to break the requirement by airframe and whether the effort can support small-business competition. Work encompasses full manufacturing including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, plus potential supply-chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, long-lead-item procurement, and nonrecurring engineering costs associated with source approval. Unit prices will be established at contract award.

Place of performance is Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. NAICS code 336413 (aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing) applies with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The government is open to all business types: large business, small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone, and women-owned small business. Interested vendors must select the "Add Me to Interested Vendors" button in SAM.gov and submit business information including CAGE code and UEI. Source Approval Request packages must be submitted electronically through DoD SAFE to 429SCMS.SASPO.Workflow@us.af.mil and jenise.lucero.1.ctr@us.af.mil.
