AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Air Force, through the 423rd Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential sources for the new manufacture of the Gearbox Assembly, part number C7088-1A with NSN 1680-00-789-9345HS, for the C-130 platform. This effort, identified by Notice ID FD20302700186, is a Sources Sought synopsis under FAR Part 10 and is not a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract. The government seeks to determine if the requirement for an estimated 30 units can be met through competitive means or if it should be set aside for small businesses, including Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) firms, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. The North American Industry Classification System code is 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees, and responses are expected by August 14, 2026, Central Standard Time. Potential vendors must be capable of end-to-end production including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, as well as managing supply chain risks such as diminishing manufacturing sources and long-lead time materials. Nonrecurring engineering costs associated with qualifying as an approved source may also be required. The place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, and all responses must be submitted via the designated workflow email. No funds are available for this market research phase, and the information gathered will solely inform future acquisition strategy. Interested parties must actively select the “Add Me to Interested Vendors” option to be considered, and inquiries about a solicitation will not be answered since none currently exists.
