The United States Government is seeking to establish a firm-fixed price contract for the procurement of thermal batteries to support the USAF AGM-86 Air Launched Cruise Missile program, with the procurement managed by the FA8213 AFLCMC EBHK office at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. This acquisition is structured under solicitation FA8213-26-R-3046 and falls under NAICS code 325920 for Explosive Manufacturing and Product Service Code 1377 for CAD/PAD Components. The contract requires the delivery of thermal batteries identified by primary NSN 6135011862891ES with part number EAP-12294 and CAGE code 81855, or alternatively by NSN 6135015254446ES with part number 425000 and CAGE code 4CF82. Proposals are divided into two options: Bid A, which mandates submission of a first article and accompanying test/inspection report prior to production, and Bid B, which skips the first article requirement for contractors already qualified to supply the item. Both bids include delivery of 75 units with a schedule requiring delivery on or before 18 months after receipt of order, and technical data in accordance with DD Form 1423-1(s). The contract award will be made in a full and open competition, but only offerors who are qualified sources as defined by the Joint Qualification Requirements (JQR) documentation will be considered technically acceptable. Foreign-owned firms may submit as prime contractors but must consult the contracting officer prior to proposal submission to determine any award restrictions. The place of performance will be determined after award, and all responsible sources are eligible to respond. The deadline for proposal submission is July 10, 2026, and technical qualification via the JQR process is an absolute prerequisite for consideration.

General Info

Procure 75 thermal batteries for AGM-86 missiles by April 30, 2028, via firm-fixed price contract with two bid options.

B-1, C-17 and T-6 EGRESS COMPONENTSThe U.S. Air Force is conducting market research through a sources-sought notice to identify industry capabilities for the engineering, manufacturing, testing, and potential repair of egress system components used on B-1, C-17, and T-6 aircraft. The notice, issued under solicitation number FD2020-27-CADPAD and posted on June 24, 2026, with a response deadline of July 24, 2026, seeks detailed information from potential suppliers regarding their experience with critical components such as dual mechanically fired initiators, cord assemblies, donor and actuator assemblies, and linear charge assemblies. Responses must include company profiles with CAGE and DUNS codes, small business status, employee count, business location, and documentation of past performance in related manufacturing and inspection activities over the prior five years. The work involves components originally developed by Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company, and offerors are expected to possess access to proprietary technical data or the ability to reverse-engineer or reproduce these parts without government-owned data. The place of performance is listed as Nibley, Utah, with the contracting activity located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. This is a non-binding market research effort and no contract will be awarded from this synopsis; however, the responses will inform future procurement strategies and may lead to a formal solicitation. The NAICS code 325920 applies, indicating the focus on basic organic chemical manufacturing related to explosive components. No contract clauses, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, pricing details, or delivery terms are included, as this document is strictly for gathering industry input. Respondents are directed to submit information through the official procurement portal, and while no formal evaluation factors or award basis are defined, the government is particularly interested in firms capable of supporting sustainment of these specialized egress systems.
