The U.S. Air Force, through the 421st Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, has issued a Sources Sought notice under solicitation FD20302700023 to identify qualified manufacturers capable of producing the F100 Core Module Container, identified by NSN 8145-01-452-4579NZ and Part Number P4078843. This action is strictly for market research purposes under FAR Part 10 and does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or indication of an upcoming contract award; no funding is available, and no contractual commitment will result from responses. Potential vendors must demonstrate the ability to meet technical, quality, and logistical requirements, including full production responsibilities such as component procurement, manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, and packaging. Compliance with the Manufacturing Qualification Requirements MQR-PSD-1 and submission of a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DoD SAFE portal are mandatory for consideration. Supporting documentation, including the Engineering Data List and completed PubSalesForm Excel spreadsheet, must accompany submissions. Business information including Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, and socioeconomic certifications under NAICS code 336412 must be provided, with the government expressing interest in small business, 8(a), HUBZone, and veteran-owned entities. Packaging and labeling must comply with applicable Department of Defense standards, with MIL-STD-2073 implicitly governing preservation and marking, though specific details are not provided within this notice. Inspection and acceptance are expected to occur at Tinker AFB, where the contracting office is located, and vendors are responsible for demonstrating conformance with qualification requirements through documented evidence. While no formal evaluation factors, award criteria, pricing data, delivery schedules, FOB terms, or contract administration details are established, responses will inform future acquisition planning. All submissions must be made electronically via DoD SAFE by June 27, 2026, with backup email submission options available for those without PKI certification. Contacts for technical and small business coordination are provided, but no Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, or Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative has been designated for this market research phase. No contract clauses, special requirements, or payment instructions are included, as this document serves only to gather industry capability information prior to potential future procurement actions.
