The United States Air Force is conducting market research to identify qualified sources—particularly small businesses (including SDVOSB, HUBZone, WOSB, 8(a), etc.)—capable of manufacturing a new butterfly valve (NSN 4820‑00‑888‑6353; P/N 3U3173‑107) for the T‑38 aircraft. Interested firms must hold a current license or agreement with the OEM, Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, and be able to provide all labor, materials, facilities, equipment, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping. The scope may also include supply‑chain management, logistics planning, production forecasting, long‑lead‑time parts procurement, and mitigation of diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages, with potential non‑recurring engineering costs. This Sources‑Sought Synopsis (NAICS 336413; SBA size standard 1,250 employees) is for market research only and does not constitute a solicitation. Responses will inform the acquisition strategy and determine if a small‑business set‑aside is appropriate. Interested parties must select “Add Me to Interested Vendors” and may submit questions to 423.SCMS.AFMC.RFI@us.af.mil. Estimated solicitation is slated for February 2025 with a response deadline in March 2025; unit pricing will be set at award.
