Summary

AI-generated · Feb 28, 2026

Identify vendors capable of supplying three Fatty-Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) analyzers used for jet fuel testing. This sources-sought effort seeks market input to assess capability and commercial viability, and to determine whether the procurement could be set aside for small businesses. Respondents should indicate whether they are the manufacturer or a reseller and provide details on manufacturing capabilities, location, and relevant experience on similar efforts.

Responses should include the standard business and capability information: company name and address, point of contact, ownership status, socio-economic status, DUNS/CAGE code, and a web URL if available; whether you would allow the government to release proprietary data; and any warranty information. If available, provide recent sales history to determine commerciality. For small-business set-aside considerations, outline how you would meet 50% of the scope under FAR 52.219-14, including proposed teaming or subcontracting arrangements and anticipated subcontracting percentages. If not set aside, provide feedback on likely small-business subcontracting areas and answer the capability survey questions about manufacturing country, facility capabilities, staff and management, past performance on similar projects, potential preclusions, and market pricing or terms for government versus commercial customers.

INSTRUCTIONS: The following survey information should be included in your response: 1. Company name and physical mailing address; 2. Point of contact with phone number and email address; 3. A statement as to whether your company is domestically or foreign owned or controlled (if foreign, please indicate the country), and whether use of any foreign national employees are contemplated on this effort; 4. Statement of socio-economic status (e.g. large, small, 8(a), HUBZone, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned small business, etc); 5. Provide DUNS/CAGE Code; 6. Provide web page URL, if applicable; 7. Indicate if you are the manufacturer or provide the name and size of the manufacturer of the service(s) you will be supplying. 8. Please provide a statement that the respondent will allow or will not allow the Government to release proprietary data. The Air Force will handle proprietary items in accordance with FAR 2.101 and 3.104. 9. Please provide information about the firm s standard warranty if applicable. 10. Please provide recent sales history to commercial companies in order to determine commerciality. Attention Small Business Respondents who are interested in submitting a proposal as the prime contractor for this effort: The acquisition strategy for this requirement has not been decided; however, the Air Force is contemplating setting this acquisition aside for small businesses if there is sufficient demonstrated interest and capability. Note that a key factor in determining an acquisition to be a Small Business Set Aside is that two or more small business prime contractors must be capable of providing at least 50% of the entire scope of providing the required supplies/services, as defined in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. Provide specific details and rationale as to how compliance with FAR clause 52.219-14 would be achieved, including specific details regarding teaming arrangements, etc. If subcontracts are to be used, provide anticipated percentage of effort to be subcontracted and whether small or large businesses will be used. Teaming and/or subcontracting arrangements should be clearly delineated and previous experience in teaming must be provided. Attention All Potential Respondents: If this acquisition is not set aside for small business, it is anticipated that the contract may contain a small business utilization requirement. Please provide feedback on what areas of this requirement are likely candidates for small business subcontracting. The following capability survey questions should also be addressed in your capabilities package: 1. Name of country where manufacturing of the product takes place. 2. Briefly describe the capabilities of your facility and the nature of the services/supplies that you provide. Please include a description of your staff composition and management structure. 3. Describe your company's past experience on previous projects similar in complexity to this requirement. Include contract number and date, a brief description, agency/organization supported, and point of contact name and telephone number. 4. Are there specific requirements in the documentation that we provided that would currently preclude your product/service from being a viable solution to our requirement? 5. Are there established market prices for our requirement? If you offer this product and/or service to both U.S. Government and commercial sources, is our requirement offered to both under similar terms and conditions? Briefly describe any differences.
