The United States Air Force has issued a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) to gather information on potential sources for the procurement of spares, specifically a turbine shaft (NSN: 2840-01-348-2831NZ). This market research aims to identify capable suppliers, including small businesses, for a new spares buy, with no current repair requirements. The Department of Defense seeks to assess whether the procurement could be competitive or set aside for small businesses. Interested vendors are encouraged to participate by expressing their interest through the corresponding platform. The SSS outlines the responsibilities of potential sources, including manufacturing, supply chain management, and compliance with engineering and qualification requirements. Responses to the notice are requested to provide business information, including size classification per the applicable NAICS code, and confirm any relevant certifications. The solicitation details will emerge post-research, although currently, there are no committed funding or proposals associated with this effort. Participants must adhere to the guidelines for submitting questions and SAR packages, emphasizing the importance of securing technical data independently if not provided by the government.
