The United States Air Force, through the 421st Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker AFB, is conducting market research (Sources Sought) to identify potential vendors capable of manufacturing new augmentor nozzle spare parts for the F110 engine (NSN 2840016161301PR, Part No. 9539M85G12). The effort is for a one‑time purchase of approximately 60 units; no repair work is required. Vendors must be able to supply all labor, materials, facilities, equipment, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping, and may also be responsible for supply‑chain management, forecasting, and non‑recurring engineering costs associated with becoming an approved source. No funds are available for the market‑research phase, and the solicitation is not a solicitation for contract award. Responses are due by 23 September 2026 via the DoD SAFE portal or designated email addresses. The government is interested in all business sizes, including small, disadvantaged, veteran‑owned, HUBZone, and women‑owned firms.
