SHROUD,INFLIGHT REFUELING

The United States Air Force, through the Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) for a new‑spares procurement of the inflight‑refueling shroud (NSN 1680‑01‑441‑6921FL, Part 400671‑4) for the KC‑135 platform. The effort calls for up to eight units with an estimated maximum contract value of $527,587.68. Potential vendors must be able to provide all labor, materials, facilities, equipment, and services required for new manufacture, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping of the shroud, as well as supply‑chain management functions such as logistics planning, forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, and mitigation of diminishing manufacturing sources. Non‑recurring engineering costs and a Source Approval Request (SAR) package—including qualification requirements and, if applicable, engineering data—are required; the government may not supply technical data, so sources must obtain it independently. All business categories are encouraged to respond (large, small, SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), women‑owned, etc.). Responses must be submitted electronically via DoD SAFE (or by email with a DoD SAFE drop‑off request) by 16 April 2026, 16:00 CT. Interested parties should provide the requested company information and indicate interest through the “Add Me to Interested Vendors” button; no solicitation or funding is attached to this notice, and it is solely for market research to determine acquisition strategy and potential set‑aside eligibility.
