Structural Panel

The United States Air Force, through the Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker AFB, OK, is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) to identify qualified vendors capable of new‑production spares for a structural panel (NSN 1560‑01‑274‑9594, Part Number L2104776‑001) used on the B‑1 aircraft. Requirements include full‑scale manufacturing of the component, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping, as well as supply‑chain management functions such as logistics planning, production forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, mitigation of diminishing sources, and delivery of serviceable assets. Vendors must be able to furnish all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment needed for new manufacture and may be responsible for non‑recurring engineering costs to become an approved source. Potential sources must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package—including any required technical data not provided in the Engineering Data List—and deliver the package electronically via DoD SAFE (or through the designated email process if a PKI certificate is unavailable). The solicitation is not yet issued, no funds are available, and the response deadline is 16:00 UTC‑05:00 on 8 May 2026. All business categories are encouraged to respond (large, small, SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), women‑owned, etc.) under NAICS 336413. Unique aspects include the possibility of breaking the requirement by airframe, the absence of a repair component (new spares only), and the need for vendors to independently acquire technical data where an EDL is not supplied.
