Sources Sought: T-38 Side Brace Trunnion Assembly (PN: 202607928-10)
The government is conducting market research to identify sources capable of manufacturing the T-38 Side Brace Trunnion Assembly, a critical main landing gear structural component. Required capabilities include 5-axis CNC machining, working with Aluminum 7050-T7451, holding tolerances as small as 0.001 inch, machining a part roughly 2 feet by 7 inches, and using SolidWorks files for machining profiles. Post-machining processes such as shot peening, anodizing, and fluorescent penetrant inspection are required, and contractors must comply with CMMC certification requirements. The formal Technical Data Package is not yet available, and specific quantities and delivery schedules have not been determined. Interested parties must submit a brief capability statement addressing company information, technical capabilities, and past performance.
