A sources-sought notice asks for capability information from potential suppliers to determine capacity and the procurement approach (potential small-business set-aside or full and open competition; multiple awards possible).

A presolicitation follows, seeking a firm-fixed-price contract for five units of the fairing. Delivery is 573 days after award to New Cumberland, PA, with FOB origin and inspection/acceptance at origin. The award is expected under the OEM’s basic ordering agreement, with an unrestricted procurement and competition, and the solicitation issued around mid-August 2025 and closing around early September 2025. SAM registration is required; alternate offerors must submit a Source Approval Request; subcontracting plans are required for bids over $750k, and certified cost data plus a subcontracting plan for bids over $2M.

If time does not permit evaluating SAR packages, alternate offers may not be reviewed for this procurement but could be considered for future work. A copy of the solicitation will be available upon request, and inquiries should be directed to the listed point of contact.
