Slat, Aircraft

The United States Air Force, through the Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) for the new manufacture of aircraft slats (NSN 1560‑01‑652‑8261KT) for the KC‑46 platform. The effort includes full‑scope production activities—fabrication, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping—plus supply‑chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, and mitigation of diminishing manufacturing sources. Up to five units are anticipated, with unit pricing to be set at award. Potential vendors must be capable of providing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment required, and may incur non‑recurring engineering costs to become an approved source. Interested firms of any size (large, small, SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), women‑owned, etc.) must submit the required business information and a Source Approval Request (SAR) package via DoD SAFE (or email with DoD SAFE drop‑off) by 16:00 CST on 31 Mar 2026. Because no Engineering Data List is provided, respondents must obtain any necessary technical data independently and may request drawings through the Tinker Engineering Drawings Public Sales Desk. This is a market‑research effort only; no funds are available and no solicitation has been issued. Questions should be directed to the point‑of‑contact email listed in the notice.
