The Air Force (AFLCMC) is asking industry for information in a sources sought notice titled KC-135 Global Maintenance-Recovery Support, with work tied to Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The details are in an attached request for information (RFI) that only approved companies can open. Responses are requested by December 4, 2026, 3:00 PM CT.

Who can bid

Hold an active DD Form 2345 (the Joint Certification Program form that allows a company to see controlled defense documents) to view the RFI documents
Have a role assigned in SAM.gov to request access to the controlled documents

Things to watch

From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.

Serious: Documents need JCP certification. Without an active DD Form 2345 you cannot open the RFI, so you cannot respond.
Worth checking: Access request can be delayed. The request must include your CAGE code, and the Government cannot help with SAM.gov roles.

Full notice text from SAM.gov

Please see the attached RFI/Sources Sought. Vendors must request access and provide a JCP certification to gain access. Request responses by 4 December 2026 at 3:00 PM CDT. To request access to view controlled documents via sam.gov. You must have a role assigned in sam.gov. This is not something Government personnel can assist you with. If you are unable to view the controlled documents, you will need to contact sam.gov for questions. After you have a role assigned in sam.gov, request to view the documents and ensure you put your company’s cage code in the request. If you do not provide the cage code, this will delay your request for access. Access will be granted to the controlled documents if an active DD2345 is on file for your company via the JCP website, https://www.dla.mil/Logistics-Operations/Services/JCP/. If a DD2345 is not found or is inactive, this will need to be updated and active before access will be granted to view controlled documents.
