The Department of Defense, specifically the United States Air Force, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the B-1 Titanium Weld Repair project. This initiative aims to develop new build and repair techniques for titanium aircraft structural components made from 6Al-4V titanium, assessing whether the effort can be competitive or designated as a Small Business Set-Aside. The Air Force emphasizes the importance of these repairs for maintaining aircraft integrity and operational readiness, and interested parties are encouraged to submit detailed capabilities packages by October 15, 2024. For further inquiries, respondents can contact the 424th SCMS at 424SCMS.RFI.Responses@us.af.mil, with the subject line “B-1 Titanium Weld Repair.”
