Rod, Piston, Linear Actuating

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 for the new‑production spares of a rod, piston, linear actuator (NSN 1650‑00‑557‑1510HS) for the F‑15 platform. The effort includes the full life‑cycle scope of manufacturing the component, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping, as well as supply‑chain management functions such as logistics planning, forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, and mitigation of diminishing manufacturing sources. Potential sources must be able to furnish all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment required for new production and may be responsible for non‑recurring engineering costs to become an approved source. Engineering data may be limited; if an Engineering Data List (EDL) is not provided, vendors must acquire the necessary technical data independently. All business categories are encouraged to respond, and the Government may consider a small‑business set‑aside or breaking the requirement by airframe. Interested parties must submit the required business information and a Source Approval Request (SAR) package via DoD SAFE (or through the designated POC email if a PKI certificate is unavailable) by 23:59 Z on 5 May 2026. The SAR must address the Manufacturing Qualification Requirements (MQR) referenced in the notice. No funds are available for this market research, and this notice does not constitute a solicitation or guarantee of contract award. For SAR‑related questions, contact the AFSC Small Business Office at Tinker AFB (afsc.sb.workflow@us.af.mil).
