The document outlines a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) issued by the U.S. Air Force to identify potential sources for the manufacture of a specific component, the PANEL ASSEMBLY, OXY. The Air Force is conducting market research to explore options for competitive sourcing, including opportunities for small and disadvantaged businesses.
