BALLSCREW ASSEMBLY

The United States Air Force, through the Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, is conducting market research (Sources‑Sought) to identify qualified vendors for the new production of a Ball‑Screw Assembly (NSN 1680‑01‑464‑1344RK) required for the KC‑135 platform. The effort calls for the manufacture of approximately 1,250 spare units, including all labor, materials, facilities, equipment, and associated non‑recurring engineering (NRE) costs needed to become an approved source. Potential contractors must also be capable of handling supply‑chain management functions such as logistics planning, forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, and mitigation of diminishing manufacturing sources. No repair work is involved, and the Government will set unit prices at award. Technical data are not provided; vendors must obtain the necessary drawings independently and submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package via DoD SAFE, following the Manufacturing Qualification Requirements (MQR) and Engineering Data List (EDL) referenced in the notice. All business categories are encouraged to respond, including large, small, SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), women‑owned, and other disadvantaged firms. The NAICS code is 336413, and the response deadline is 23:59 ET on 11 April 2025. Interested parties should submit the required business information and SAR package to the points of contact listed (AFSC Small Business Office and the Tinker Engineering Drawings Public Sales Desk) and indicate interest via the “Add Me to Interested Vendors” button. This is a market‑research effort only; no solicitation or funding is attached at this time.
