Quick Summary

The Department of the Navy / NAVFACSYSCOM MID-ATLANTIC is conducting market research through a Sources Sought notice to identify capable suppliers for Paint Booths for Gen 4, 5, & 6 Aircraft. These paint booths are intended for the P993/995 F-35 Aircraft Sustainment Center and Composite Repair Facility at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point, NC. This is not a request for proposal.

Purpose & Scope

The government seeks to determine the availability of commercially viable suppliers for specialized paint booths manufactured by Global Finishing Systems (GFS). Key requirements include:

  • Compatibility with MCAS Cherry Point specifications.
  • Interchangeable parts and maintenance procedures consistent with existing F-35 paint booths.
  • Prior experience within the past five years providing similar services for the F-35 program. The market research aims to inform the acquisition method for these critical components of the F-35 Sustainment Center.

Submission Requirements

Interested vendors must submit a brief capabilities statement package, not exceeding 5 pages, demonstrating their ability to provide the specified GFS paint booths. The submission must include:

  • Attachment 1 – Company Information (a one-page form covering UEI, CAGE Code, business type, POC, and bonding capacity).
  • Product technical information and specification sheets. Submissions are to be sent electronically to Brittany Cristelli (brittany.n.cristelli.civ@us.navy.mil) and must be limited to a 4MB attachment.

Key Dates & Contact

  • Response Due: Thursday, March 19, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. Late responses will not be considered.
  • Point of Contact: Brittany Cristelli (brittany.cristelli@navy.mil, 757-341-1978).
  • Place of Performance: Cherry Point, NC.

Additional Notes

This Sources Sought notice is for market research purposes only and does not obligate the government to issue a solicitation or award a contract. No payment will be made for information received. While this notice focuses on paint booths, the overall project involves the construction of a 255,461 SF F-35 Sustainment Center and a 105,755 SF Composite Repair Facility.
