    B-1 Electro Mechanical Actuator RFI.docx
    The government is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) regarding the remanufacture of the B-1 Electro Mechanical Actuator (NSN: 1680-01-289-2958, P/N: Y56A) after not receiving any proposals for solicitation FA811825R0027. This RFI aims to understand industry reasons for not submitting proposals and does not guarantee future contract participation for respondents. Companies are invited to respond by March 17, 2025, with strict confidentiality for proprietary information. Key questions within the RFI inquire about the reasons companies, especially large businesses under NAICS 336413, opted out of submitting proposals, whether solicitation terms were prohibitive, and if any material shortages played a role. Additionally, the RFI seeks input regarding potential changes to improve participation in future solicitations. The overall purpose of this document is to gather insights for enhancing the upcoming acquisition process and understanding market dynamics related to defense contracting. Participation in the RFI will not restrict companies from responding to future solicitations, maintaining an open dialogue between the government and industry stakeholders.
