Radiator Supply

The contract pertains to the supply of a single radiator unit designed for the thermal management system of an F-5 aircraft, a critical component ensuring proper heat dissipation during operational conditions. The solicitation, issued under the NAICS code 333415 for other engine and engine parts manufacturing, is structured as a subcontract and is managed by the Department of Defense through the FA8220 Aflcmc Wndt office. The radiator must meet stringent military specifications for durability, performance, and compatibility within the existing aircraft thermal architecture, with delivery expected to support maintenance or upgrade cycles for the F-5 fleet. Performance of the contract is designated to take place in Nibley, indicating the physical location where the unit will be installed, tested, or integrated. Responses to the solicitation are due by July 29, 2026, at 10:30 PM Eastern Time, providing potential vendors approximately one month to prepare technical and commercial proposals. The absence of a set-aside designation means the contract is open to all eligible suppliers without restrictions based on business size or certification status. While no specific point of contact is listed, all inquiries and submissions must be processed through the official SAM.gov portal linked in the documentation. This contract represents a targeted procurement to maintain operational readiness and is likely part of a broader sustainment effort for legacy F-5 airframes still in active or support service.
