Quick Summary
The United States Air Force (USAF) is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the C26-090 Moog Valve (P/N 72049100) or a functionally equivalent component. This "Brand Name or Equal" Sources Sought aims to assess industry capabilities for qualification and production to maximize competition for future acquisition efforts.
