Remanufacture of B-2 Aft Equipment Bay Door Actuator

The United States Air Force, through the 423rd SCMS Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of remanufacturing the B-2 Aft Equipment Bay Door Actuator, identified by NSN 1680-01-368-2107FW and Part Number DAA3119P604-107. This sources sought synopsis does not constitute a solicitation or obligation to award a contract; no funds are available for this effort, and responses are strictly for informational purposes to inform future acquisition decisions, including potential competitive sourcing or Small Business Set-Aside considerations. Interested parties must register via the “Add Me to Interested Vendors” button to be included in the market research pool. The Government is seeking responses from a broad range of potential suppliers, including Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) firms, HUBZone, Women-Owned, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, with no set-aside currently designated. Responses must be submitted as a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package in a single, bookmarked PDF format, including technical data rights certification, quality assurance documentation such as AS9100 or ISO 9001 certifications, NADCAP accreditation for critical processes, repair process travelers, inspection method sheets, and supplier lists. All submissions must be uploaded electronically through the AFSC Small Business Office portal by the deadline of June 15, 2026, with no physical submissions permitted. The SAR package must include company brochures detailing facilities and capabilities, CAGE and Unique Entity ID information, and declarations of size status and socioeconomic certifications. Quality history for the past 36 months must be documented with details of deficiencies and corrective actions, and all proprietary information must be clearly marked and redacted as permitted. The remanufacture effort requires restoring the item to like-new condition, with packaging and preservation responsibilities falling to the contractor, though specific MIL-STDs for preservation or marking are not detailed. Compliance with the JACG Critical Safety Item Handbook is required for items classified as Critical Safety Items, and sub-tier suppliers must provide their own certifications and documentation if involved. Final inspection and acceptance will be conducted by the Government's Engineering Support Activity at Tinker AFB, with no contract award anticipated based on this market research effort.
