Quick Summary
The Department of the Air Force, specifically the Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS). The purpose is to identify potential sources for the new manufacture of Receiver-Transmitter spares (NSN 5820-01-608-9187IM, Part Number: 012106-0001). This effort aims to determine if the requirement can be competitively sourced or designated as a Small Business Set-Aside. Responses are due by March 20, 2026.
Scope of Work
The requirement is for the new manufacture of the item associated with NSN 5820-01-608-9187IM. Potential sources must be capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping. Responsibilities may also include supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, long-lead time parts procurement, managing diminishing manufacturing sources, and shipping serviceable assets. Potential sources may be responsible for nonrecurring engineering costs. The estimated spares requirement is 7 units, and this is a new spares buy, not a repair requirement.
