F100CoreModuleContainer_End_Item_F100_NSN_8145014524579NZ_PN_P4078843

This document represents a Sources Sought Notice issued by the Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force Materiel Command at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, regarding market research for the potential manufacture and procurement of the F100 Core Module Container, identified by Part Number P4078843 and NSN 8145-01-452-4579NZ. The notice was posted on May 26, 2026, with a submission deadline of June 27, 2026. It is not a formal solicitation with associated contract clauses or pricing but serves solely to assess industry capabilities for a new spares buy involving full manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, labeling, bar-coding, logistics, and supply chain management. The government explicitly states that no funds are currently available and no contract will be awarded based on this notice. Responses are sought to inform future acquisition planning by gathering information on firms’ business size, technical qualifications including compliance with Manufacturing Qualification Requirements (MQR) and Engineering Data Lists (EDL), readiness to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package, and capacity to handle end-to-end production processes. The notice requires offerors to demonstrate ability to meet preservation, packaging, marking, and bar-coding requirements appropriate for military logistics without specifying detailed MIL-STD or packaging standards. Inspection and acceptance activities are implied to be performed under the government’s oversight at Tinker AFB, with contractors responsible for labor, materials, testing, and inspections. No formal evaluation criteria or contract administration data such as invoicing or payment instructions are provided, reflecting the pre-solicitation status of the notice. Respondents must submit a fully complete SAR package electronically via DoD SAFE by the stated deadline, including representations of size status and socioeconomic certifications under NAICS code 336412, which covers aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing. The government contact points are identified for workflow and questions but no contracting officer or award authority is appointed at this stage. Overall, the document establishes the framework for initial market engagement on the production of a critical aerospace component but does not constitute a contractual offer or award instrument.
