The Department of Defense is seeking sources for the procurement of spare parts, specifically a nozzle assembly for the F100 engine, as part of a Sources Sought Notice aimed at market research. This involves identifying potential suppliers, including small and disadvantaged businesses, to determine the feasibility of competitive bidding or setting aside contracts for small businesses. The requirement emphasizes that no solicitation is currently available and that interested parties must register to be considered for the process. The procurement encompasses new manufacturing, which includes labor, materials, inspection, and logistics services. Companies interested in participating must provide detailed information about their business size classification according to NAICS codes, as well as their qualifications. The document also outlines submission procedures and emphasizes the necessity of completing a Source Approval Request (SAR) as part of the qualification process. This solicitation reflects the government's ongoing efforts to enhance its supply chain and support local and small businesses while ensuring compliance with procurement regulations. The date for responses is set for September 28, 2024.
