Weapon-Aircraft Integration

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base is conducting market research to identify potential sources for weapon-aircraft integration capabilities. The Armament Directorate is specifically seeking businesses within the NAICS 336413 category (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with substantial experience in integrating weapons systems with aircraft platforms. Interested companies are required to submit electronic responses by April 24, 2025, with detailed information about their technical capabilities, infrastructure, and past performance. The market research aims to inform future acquisition strategies and understand industry readiness for potential weapon integration projects. Respondents must provide comprehensive information covering their business profile, supported aircraft and weapons platforms, current technical infrastructure, and potential upgrade capabilities.

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, suggesting it will be open to all qualified contractors. The RFI does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but it requires respondents to detail their infrastructure supporting top-secret (TS) requirements and potential costs for infrastructure upgrades. Companies are limited to a 10-page response and must submit their information to Capt Henry Camp and Mr. Alan Cabrera. The document emphasizes that this is a market research effort and does not constitute a formal solicitation, with no reimbursement provided for response preparation. Contractors with experience in SBIR Phase I/II awards related to weapon-aircraft integration may have a competitive advantage in demonstrating their technical capabilities.
