The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) regarding the B-52J Commercial Engine Replacement Program (CERP), aimed at assessing market capabilities for the production phase. The SSS seeks to identify potential contractors for acquiring and managing component production related to new engine installations on B-52H aircraft, including the development and delivery of modification kits to Tinker Air Force Base. The initiative expects responses that demonstrate capabilities in integrating aircraft systems and providing Interim Contractor Support (ICS) for supplier management and non-warranty repairs over a five-to-eight-year span, starting FY2027. Key requirements outlined include managing logistics for kit acquisition, ensuring compliance with Boeing's Special Licensing Agreement, and demonstrating previous relevant experience. The government is open to small business participation and may consider set-asides based on expressed interest and capabilities among small businesses. All parties are reminded that responses to the SSS are informational and not formal proposals or commitments. Prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to qualify for future procurement actions. Responses to the SSS must be submitted by May 15, 2023, and must provide necessary company details, including small business status.
