Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically AFSC PZABA, is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis for the new manufacture of "SUPPORT, TURBINE" spares for the F-15 aircraft. This market research aims to identify potential sources for NSN 1660-00-286-2643 (P/N 571563-1) and determine if the requirement can be competitive or set aside for small businesses. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP), and no contract will be awarded from this notice. Responses are requested by March 23, 2026.
Scope of Work
The government seeks sources capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for the new manufacture of the specified item. This includes procurement/manufacture of component parts, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping. Potential sources may also be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting production requirements, long-lead time parts procurement, and addressing diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortage issues. The estimated requirement is for 13 units of NSN 1660-00-286-2643. This is a new spares buy and does not involve repair services.
