Solicitation # FA821326R3049

The U.S. Air Force, through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center’s EBHK office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah, is conducting market research under solicitation FA821326R3049 to identify qualified industry sources capable of reverse engineering, qualifying, and manufacturing the F-22 Canopy Remover Rocket (JM35), a cartridge-actuated device with limited existing technical documentation. The effort aims to develop a government-owned Technical Data Package (TDP) to ensure long-term sustainment of this critical component, requiring contractors to demonstrate expertise in reverse engineering energetic systems, including destructive and non-destructive teardowns, metallurgical and propellant analysis, and qualification testing under environmental and aging conditions. Responses must include a detailed company profile, technical capabilities, and any teaming arrangements, with specific emphasis on the ability to generate fully compliant TDPs and meet the stringent security and regulatory demands associated with defense-related explosive devices. The NAICS code 325920 applies, with a small business size standard of 750 employees, and the government expresses particular interest in receiving responses from 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, and WOSB concerns. Submission of responses is required by July 15, 2026, at 2:00 PM MST via email to Britney Eggett, with no formal page or format restrictions, though comprehensive technical narratives are expected. This is a sources-sought notice, not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded directly from this action; the goal is solely to gather market intelligence to inform future procurement decisions. Offerors must possess or be able to obtain appropriate security clearances to handle controlled technical data and must disclose any organizational conflicts of interest, particularly if they have prior involvement with the original system or access to proprietary competitor information. Required representations include valid CAGE and UEI codes, accurate small business status, and disclosure of any joint ventures or teaming agreements. No pricing, delivery schedules, packaging specifications, invoicing methods, or formal evaluation factors are included, as this phase is strictly for market research to determine industry readiness and capability. All performance is expected to occur at or support the Hill Air Force Base location, and the government retains full ownership of any resulting technical data.
