The United States Air Force is conducting market research for the new‑manufacture of a rear‑mount spare part for the F110 engine (NSN 2840‑01‑696‑1889, part number 9530M56G18) to be supplied at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, for the period September 2026 through September 2027. This effort seeks vendors capable of full‑cycle production, testing, packaging, logistics, and potential non‑recurring engineering support. No funding is currently available; the posting is strictly for market research and aims to identify all qualified sources, including small‑business categories.
• Provide full labor, materials, facilities, and equipment to manufacture the spare part, including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping.
• Manage supply‑chain functions such as logistics planning, production forecasting, long‑lead‑time parts procurement, and DMSMS mitigation.
• Submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package via DoD SAFE; eligibility is open to Large Business, Small Business, 8(a), SDVOSB, HUBZone, and Women‑Owned Small Business vendors.
• No contract funds are presently allocated; the effort is solely for market research to shape future acquisition strategy.
