The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Department of the Air Force and the Air Force Sustainment Center under AFMC, is conducting market research via a Sources Sought notice for the procurement of a new spares item: the Plate Assembly, Bear for the F100 engine platform, identified by NSN 2915011894224PN and Part Number 216203-1. This is not a solicitation or a commitment to award a contract, but rather an effort to identify qualified sources capable of manufacturing the component to meet estimated requirements of one to six units, with a median expectation of four units. The requirement specifies that the part must be newly manufactured with no repair component, and potential vendors must be able to comply with the MQR-PSD-1 manufacturing qualification standard and complete a Source Approval Request package. Government-provided engineering data is available through an Engineering Data List, and respondents who lack access to this documentation must independently acquire the necessary technical specifications. The place of performance is Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, and the submission deadline for responses is June 25, 2026, in Central Standard Time. Respondents are requested to provide detailed company information, including CAGE code, Unique Entity ID, point of contact, and business address, along with socioeconomic certifications indicating whether they qualify as a small business, woman-owned small business, small disadvantaged business, 8(a) certified, HUBZone certified, veteran-owned small business, or service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Ownership status—domestic or foreign—must also be declared. The procurement is classified under NAICS code 336412 with a size standard of 1,500 employees, and the government welcomes participation from all eligible business categories. Unit pricing will be determined at the time of any future contract award, and potential contractors may incur nonrecurring engineering costs associated with achieving source approval. Packaging, preservation, and shipping capabilities are required but not further detailed in this notice. All submissions must be sent to the 421st SCMS workflow email and are strictly for market research purposes as no solicitation or contractual obligation currently exists.
