The United States Air Force, through the 423 SCMS/GUMD Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker AFB, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for the new manufacture of a Receptacle Assembly (NSN 1680‑01‑057‑3391RK, Part Number 16VP003‑1) used on the F‑16 platform. Potential vendors must be capable of providing all labor, materials, facilities, equipment, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping, as well as supply‑chain management functions such as forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, and mitigation of diminishing‑manufacturing‑source and material‑shortage issues. The effort is a Sources‑Sought (FD2002500881) intended to gauge interest, especially from Small Business, SDVOSB, HUBZone, 8(a), Women‑Owned, and other SBA‑designated categories, and to determine if a small‑business set‑aside is feasible. Responses must include a completed Source Approval Request (SAR) package submitted electronically via DoD SAFE, along with the business information outlined in Part I of the notice, by 15:00 EST on 28 Mar 2025. No funds are available for this market research, and the government will use the information to shape the eventual acquisition strategy. Vendors may be responsible for non‑recurring engineering costs to become an approved source, and must obtain any required engineering drawings independently if not provided on the Engineering Data List. Interested parties should add themselves as “interested vendors” in the SAM posting and direct any SAR‑process questions to the AFSC Small Business Office at Tinker AFB.
