This announcement is part of market research to identify potential manufacturing and supply sources, aiming to assess competition or establish small business set-asides. The related NAICS Code is 336413, with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Currently, the part is procured under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1) due to having limited responsible sources, and the government does not own the rights to the necessary data for alternative sourcing, making reverse engineering uneconomical. All interested vendors, including small, disadvantaged, or veteran-owned businesses, are encouraged to seek source approval to qualify for future opportunities. The contractor must meet various requirements, including supply chain management and production capabilities. This SSS is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation, leaving no commitment for contract award or funding for response preparation.
