The United States Air Force, specifically the 422nd Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) for the new manufacture of “TRANSMITTER, LIQUID” (NSN 6680-01-074-9369RK, Part Number 16VE002003-3) for the F-16 platform, with an estimated requirement of 1,250 units. This SSS aims to identify potential sources, including various small business categories, to determine if the effort can be competitive or set aside for small businesses. There is no solicitation available, and no contract will be awarded based on this market research. Interested sources must be capable of furnishing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Potential sources may also be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, and addressing diminishing manufacturing sources. Manufacturing Qualification Requirements (MQR-PSD-1) and an Engineering Data List (EDL) are embedded or attached, and sources wishing to be qualified must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package electronically via DoD SAFE. Businesses are requested to provide detailed company information and business size classification by the response deadline.
