Aerospace Fuels Laboratory (AFPET/PTPLA) at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio is seeking a Firm-Fixed Priced contract. Firms that respond shall specify that their services meet the specifications provided below and in attachments and provide detailed information to show clear technical compliance. Detailed Specifications are listed in the attachments identified below: 1. Attachment 1: Draft Performance Work Statement (20 June 2025) All interested firms shall submit a response demonstrating their capability to provide the requested services to the Primary Point of Contact listed below. As stipulated in FAR 15.201, responses to this notice are not considered offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. No solicitation (Request for Proposal) exists; therefore, do not request a copy of the solicitation. The decision to solicit for a contract shall be solely within the Government's discretion. The NAICS Code assigned to this acquisition is 541380 Testing Laboratories and Services with a size standard $19M. Firms responding should indicate their size in relation to this size standard, and also indicate socio-economic status (SB, 8(a), VOSB, SDVOSB, WOSB, EDWOSB, and/or HUBZone). Respondents are further requested to indicate their status as a Foreign-owned/foreign-controlled firm and any contemplated use of foreign national employees on this effort. Capability responses will be assessed, and the data will be used to assist the Government in determining the acquisition strategy, including Small Business Set Aside (SBSA), sole source, or full and open, for any potential subsequent action. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 10.001, market research results will be used to determine whether FAR Part 19 criteria are met for a SBSA or further socio-economic set aside. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a SBSA is that small business prime contractors meet the requirements set forth in compliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitation of Subcontract. Responses from small businesses, therefore, need to include rationale as to how compliance with FAR 52.219-14 will be achieved. Also, the rules governing affiliation and ostensible subcontracting apply when determining size, as does the non-manufacturer rule. All prospective contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database to be awarded a DoD contract. Any information submitted by respondents to this sources sought synopsis is voluntary. This sources sought notice is not to be construed as a commitment by the Government, nor will the Government reimburse any costs associated with the submission of information in response to this notice. Respondents will not be individually notified of the results of any government assessments. CAPABILITIES PACKAGE: All interested firms shall submit a capabilities package that explicitly demonstrates their capabilities to provide the required services. The capabilities package should be brief and concise yet clearly demonstrate an ability to meet the stated requirements as stated in Attachment 1 hereto. Please answer the following questions: Responses may be submitted electronically to the following email address: shemari.hale@us.af.mil and jennifer.blackford@us.af.mil.
