Who can bid (8)
- Qualification requirement: the product, manufacturer or source must already be qualified before award (Air Force source approval under MQR-PSD-1, which uses a Company Profile and a Source Approval Request)
- To gain source approval you must submit a Source Approval Request with engineering data, production documents and a demonstration package
- Quality certificate: ISO 9001, AS9100 or NATO AQAP-2070 with a valid expiration date

- Special process certifications (such as NADCAP) for significant industrial processes your plant or suppliers use
- DD Form 2345 (or an export control license) is needed to get the technical data and for the company profile
- Current CMMC status in SPRS at the level the contracting officer sets (the level is blank in the provided text), if you will handle federal contract information or CUI
- A current NIST SP 800-171 DoD assessment score posted in SPRS if you must implement NIST SP 800-171
- Open to all businesses (no set-aside), so a small business competes against large manufacturers
How to submit: due 30 OCT 2026, 3:00 PM (the notice lists Oct 30, 2026, 3:00 PM CDT · 4:00 PM Eastern; the time zone is not stated in the solicitation form). What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (8)
- Serious: Source approval needed before award. This part has a qualification requirement, so a business that is not already approved must go through a lengthy Air Force review that may not finish by the deadline.
- Serious: Critical safety item. Jet engine parts that could cause serious harm if they fail get strict controls on quality, marking, traceability and process certifications.
- Serious: New manufacture only. Surplus or used parts are not allowed, so you need real manufacturing capability and approved titanium material and processes, not just resale.
Show all 8Show fewer
- Worth checking: Quantity may change or no award may be made. The buy is 28 now but could be 7 to 42, and the Government may award nothing, so pricing is harder to plan.
- Worth checking: Cybersecurity requirements. A CMMC level and a NIST SP 800-171 score in SPRS may be required, which small shops often do not have yet.
- Worth checking: Cost data and non-recurring costs. The Government can require certified cost or pricing data, and a proposal that fails to provide it can be ruled ineligible.
- Worth checking: Instructions and evaluation text missing. The middle of the solicitation was cut off, so how offers are scored and how to submit them could not be read.
- Minor: Rated order and long delivery window. This is a DPAS rated order, so you must prioritize it, and a delivery date as late as 31 DEC 2028 ties up capacity for a long time.
