The Government seeks to acquire 150 CYLINDER ASSEMBLY units under a Firm Fixed Price contract, with production and delivery to TINKER AFB, OK. The production lead time is 2,160 days after contract award with First Article Testing, or 1,440 days without it. This procurement is restricted to THE BOEING COMPANY (CAGE: 77272) as the Government lacks the data rights to source the part elsewhere. All offerors must meet prequalification requirements to be eligible. Firms capable of producing the item are encouraged to identify themselves and seek source approval for future opportunities.

This is a market research notice to identify potential manufacturers for a specific cylinder assembly part used in the CHINOOK weapon system. The work is intended for performance at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. The Government currently believes there is only one responsible source for this part, making future competition uncertain. Interested contractors capable of producing the item must seek source approval and be prepared to handle all engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain responsibilities. No solicitation is currently available, and this notice does not constitute a commitment to issue one.
