Quick Summary
The U.S. Air Force (424th SCMS) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify potential sources for the new manufacture of Centrifugal Fans (PN 4100149C, NSN 4140-01-652-4720KT) for the KC-46 platform.

Potential sources must be capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for procurement, manufacture, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping. Responsibilities may also include supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, long-lead time parts procurement, diminishing manufacturing sources, material shortage issues, and shipping serviceable assets. Nonrecurring engineering costs may be associated with becoming an approved source.
