The Department of the Air Force is conducting a Sources Sought Synopsis (SSS) to identify potential sources for the procurement of aircraft exhaust frame spares (NSN 2840-01-440-7417NZ, P/N 4080315-01) required at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. This SSS serves as market research to gather information on all types of businesses, including small, disadvantaged, and women-owned enterprises, to discern if the effort might be competitive or set-aside for small businesses. There is no existing solicitation, and the Government seeks to establish an acquisition strategy based on the responses received. Potential vendors must be capable of supplying all necessary labor, materials, and logistics support for the manufacture of these components. Specific tasks may include procurement, testing, and shipping, along with requirements for supply chain management. Interested vendors should submit their business information and qualifications electronically and follow the provided instructions for the Source Approval Request (SAR) process. The SSS emphasizes the absence of funding for this effort and outlines important points regarding business eligibility and expectations for participation. The submission deadline for responses is set for September 26, 2024.
