The effort will encompass full‑scale production, including component fabrication, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping, as well as supply‑chain management, logistics planning, forecasting, long‑lead‑time procurement, and mitigation of material shortages. Responding firms must hold a current license or agreement with the OEM, Eaton Aerospace LLC, and be prepared to absorb any non‑recurring engineering costs required for source approval. The anticipated requirement is for seven valves, with unit pricing to be set at award.

Interested parties must select “Add Me to Interested Vendors” to be considered and submit their capability statements to 423.SCMS.AFMC.RFI@us.af.mil by 23:59 ET on 17 Feb 2025. The government will use the responses to determine the acquisition strategy and whether a Small Business Set‑Aside will be appropriate, with a formal solicitation expected around Feb 2025 and a response deadline of Dec 2025.
