The U.S. Air Force, through the 423rd Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the new manufacture of a Butterfly Valve with part number 458-50005-1 and NSN 4810-01-146-0722YQ, intended for use on the KC-135 platform. This effort, identified by Notice ID FD20302700162, is a Sources Sought synopsis under FAR Part 10 and is not a solicitation or invitation to bid; no contract award is anticipated from this action, and no funds are currently available. The government seeks information from all types of businesses—including large, small, small disadvantaged, 8(a), service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, and women-owned small businesses—to determine the availability of capable suppliers and whether the requirement can be competed broadly or set aside for small businesses. The estimated spares need ranges between 10 and 56 units, with an initial target of 37 units. Potential vendors must demonstrate the ability to fully manufacture the valve from component parts through final inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, while also addressing supply chain complexities such as long-lead procurement, diminishing manufacturing sources, and material shortages. Nonrecurring engineering costs associated with qualification as an approved source may be required. The place of performance is Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, and responses must be submitted by August 13, 2026, using the designated workflow email. Participation requires selecting the “Add Me to Interested Vendors” button, and requests for a formal solicitation will not be honored, as this is strictly a market research initiative to inform future acquisition strategy.
