The United States Air Force is conducting market research (Sources Sought) to identify potential manufacturers for a new‑spares purchase of a metallic aircraft seal (NSN 2840‑01‑308‑7046PR, Part No. 1441M38G06) for the F110 platform. Four spares are required, with the contractor expected to handle full‑life‑cycle activities such as component procurement, manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, logistics, and possible non‑recurring engineering to become an approved source. The effort is not a solicitation; no funds are allocated for the information request, and the government will later determine the acquisition strategy (competitive or small‑business set‑aside). Interested firms must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) via DoD SAFE by the response deadline. • Scope: New manufacture of a metallic aircraft seal, including material procurement, QA, packaging, and logistics. • Quantity: 4 spares (new‑spares buy, no repair). • Required capabilities: Aerospace part manufacturing, QA/inspection, logistics, and ability to absorb NRE costs for source approval. • Deadline: Responses due 9 / 16 / 2026; submission through DoD SAFE. • Target market: Open to all U.S. businesses, large and small, including various small‑business categories.
