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 manufacturers for UWARS (Universal Water Activated Release System) Battery Replacement Kits. The procurement targets specific battery kit part numbers (1914-031-02 and 01-0-12-000-0RE) for aircrew flight equipment and survival components, with a primary focus on engineering and manufacturing capabilities. Interested vendors must demonstrate technical proficiency in producing similar products within the last 5 years and provide detailed company profiles including employee count, office location, CAGE Code, and Unique Entity Identifier. The sources sought synopsis requires potential offerors to submit comprehensive responses by 4:00 PM Mountain Time on April 10, 2025, to Contracting Officer Lauren Johnston. Evaluation criteria will emphasize small business capabilities, particularly within 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business categories.
The procurement does not have a specific set-aside designation, though small business participation is strongly encouraged. Currently known manufacturers in this space include Cobham Mission Systems/Eaton and Stratus Systems, Inc. While specific award values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the contract targets manufacturers in the Explosives Manufacturing (NAICS 325920) category with expertise in cartridge and propellant actuated devices. The government has indicated limited technical data availability and will not reimburse vendors for response preparation. The procurement appears focused on identifying qualified manufacturers capable of producing specialized battery replacement kits for critical aircrew survival equipment, with potential for future contract award based on demonstrated technical and manufacturing capabilities.
