The document is a Sources Sought Synopsis from the US Air Force, specifically the Air Force Materiel Command, intending to gather information for potential sourcing related to aerial refueling receptacles. It seeks to assess the market to identify responsible suppliers capable of competing for a contract, potentially including a Small Business Set-Aside. Interested parties are encouraged to submit their small business status under the NAICS code 325920 and provide relevant experience over the past three years. The synopsis specifies the item quantity, required productions, and the need for engineering, manufacturing, inspection, and testing capabilities. Respondents should include details such as company profile, employee count, location, and any teaming arrangements. Importantly, the government clearly states it cannot reimburse for responses and requires that interested offerors possess the necessary data access for manufacturing. Responses are due by April 7, 2025. The synopsis emphasizes collaboration with small businesses, including specific designations like 8(a) and Women-Owned, as part of its acquisition strategy.
