The U.S. Air Force, through the Air Force Sustainment Center and the 423rd SCMS at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the manufacture and supply of the electro-mechanical actuator with part number J115103-517 and NSN 1680-01-055-3451RK, intended for use on F-16 aircraft. This effort, issued under Notice ID FD20302601993, is a Sources Sought Synopsis under FAR Part 10 and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract; no funds are available for this market research phase. The requirement is for approximately 14 units, and potential vendors must demonstrate the capability to perform new manufacture including component procurement, inspection, testing, packaging, shipping, and management of supply chain risks such as diminishing manufacturing sources and long-lead parts. The Government is also interested in determining whether this requirement can be set aside for small businesses, including 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned small businesses, with the NAICS code 336413 carrying a size standard of 1,250 employees. Responses must be submitted via the designated email address, 430scms.afmc.rfiresponses@us.af.mil, and interested parties are required to select the “Add Me to Interested Vendors” button to be considered. The deadline for responses is July 17, 2026, at 4:59 a.m. Central Standard Time. Although the purpose section cites the 423rd SCMS, all communications and submissions must be directed to the 430th SCMS. The place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, and the Government will use the received information solely to evaluate the availability of qualified suppliers and develop an optimal acquisition strategy for future procurement, which may involve breaking the requirement by airframe or other criteria. No contract award will result from this notice.
