Quick Summary
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis for a B-2 Supply Chain Velocity Initiative.

Responses are due by April 30, 2026, at 5:00 PM CT.
Purpose & Scope
This effort seeks to establish a Government-owned library of technical data by acquiring data rights and developing TDPs for obsolete or unavailable B-2 components. The selected integrator will manage a new, government-controlled sustainment enterprise, focusing on low-density strategic aircraft fleets.

- Supplier Network Management: Establish, qualify, and manage a "hub-and-spoke" industrial model.
- Airworthiness Qualification: Manage the submission and approval process for newly developed parts and data.
Eligibility & Restrictions
Respondents must be established defense contractors with demonstrated integration experience for low-density, high-demand, aging strategic military aircraft. They must possess extensive in-house reverse engineering expertise and specialized SAP-cleared facilities capable of accommodating multiple large-body aircraft. Due to Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI), B-2 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and their primary mission-system affiliates shall NOT respond.
