The U.S. Air Force, through the Air Force Sustainment Center and the 430th and 423rd Supply Chain Management Squadrons at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, is conducting market research under FAR Part 10 to identify potential sources for the new manufacture of the lubricating cooler with part number 8427707 and NSN 2935-01-202-5339, intended for use on C-130 aircraft. This sources sought notice, identified by PR# FD20302501972-01, is not a solicitation and no contract will be awarded based on responses; no funds are available for this effort. The government is seeking information to evaluate whether the requirement for 43 units can be filled through competitive sourcing or set aside for small businesses, including Small, Small Disadvantaged, 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned Small Businesses, all subject to the NAICS code 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Potential vendors must demonstrate capability to perform full lifecycle manufacturing, including sourcing components, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, while also addressing diminishing manufacturing sources and long-lead item procurement. Respondents must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package electronically through the DoD SAFE portal, including a Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and full socioeconomic certifications indicating business size and eligibility for small business programs. Compliance with Qualification Requirements (QRs) and Engineering Data Lists (EDLs) — accessible via SAM.gov using the keyword “848 SCMG MQR” — is mandatory, and vendors must also provide any requested engineering drawings in Excel format to the designated Air Force email. All submissions must be electronic; paper or oral responses will not be accepted. Packaging and labeling must meet government standards including barcoding, though specific MIL-STDs are not cited. Inspection and final acceptance will be conducted by the government at Tinker AFB, with the contractor responsible for quality assurance and documentation. Responses are due by July 30, 2026, and all information gathered will inform future acquisition strategies, including whether the requirement will be broken out by airframe or set aside for small businesses, with no pricing offered or obligated at this stage.
