Solicitation # FA821326R3049

The United States Air Force Materiel Command, AFLCMC/EBHK, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Synopsis and Request for Information (FA821326R3049) to identify potential sources for the F-22 Canopy Remover Rocket (Part Number 12351100-4). The primary objective is to establish an alternate source of supply to mitigate critical supply chain, obsolescence, and readiness risks associated with sole-source reliance for this life-critical emergency egress component. Because the government possesses very limited technical data and does not own the necessary data rights, the effort focuses on finding partners capable of reverse engineering, redesigning, qualifying, and manufacturing form-fit-function replacements, as well as developing a Government-owned Technical Data Package. The government is specifically interested in capabilities regarding energetic material selection, output analysis, and First Article Testing. Under NAICS code 325920 for Explosive Manufacturing, the Air Force is seeking information from responsible sources, with a particular interest in 8(a), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small businesses to determine if the procurement can be a total small business set-aside. Preliminary estimated production quantities for market research purposes are projected at 245 units between fiscal years 2027 and 2031. This action is for information and planning purposes only; it is not a solicitation, and no contract will be awarded based on the responses.
