Quick Summary
The U.S. Air Force (430th SCMS) is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis to identify potential sources for the new manufacture of MANIFOLD ASSY NO 4 (NSN: 2915-01-659-5074NZ, P/N: 4089329) for the F100 engine. This effort aims to determine if the requirement can be competitive or a Small Business Set-Aside. This is not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded from this notice. Responses are requested by May 21, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the new manufacture of approximately 7 units of the specified manifold assembly. Potential sources must be capable of furnishing all necessary labor, materials, facilities, and equipment.
