The U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) at Tinker AFB, OK is conducting market research to identify qualified sources for the new‑production spares of a hydraulic drive unit (NSN 1650‑01‑308‑0839, P/N 2048666‑2‑1) supporting the F‑16 platform. The effort calls for the manufacture, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipment of an estimated 1,250 spare units, as well as associated supply‑chain management functions such as logistics planning, forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, and mitigation of diminishing manufacturing sources. Respondents must be capable of providing all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment required for new production, and may be responsible for non‑recurring engineering costs to become an approved source. The solicitation is a Sources‑Sought (FA) notice only; no funds are available and no contract award is implied at this time. Potential vendors must submit the required business information and a Source Approval Request (SAR) package that complies with the Manufacturing Qualification Requirements (MQR) and any applicable Engineering Data List (EDL). Technical data not supplied by the government must be obtained independently. Responses are due by 23:59 local time on 17 April 2025 and must be submitted electronically via DoD SAFE to the AFSC Small Business Office (afsc.sb.workflow@us.af.mil). All business categories are encouraged to participate, including small, disadvantaged, 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, and women‑owned firms, and the NAICS code for the effort is 336413.
