The Government is conducting market research to identify capable sources for manufacturing the T-38 Side Brace Trunnion Assembly, Part Number 202607928-10, a critical main landing gear structural subcomponent for the T-38 aircraft. A formal Technical Data Package is not yet available because drawings are in final approval, and specific quantities and delivery schedules have not been determined. Required capabilities include at least 5-axis CNC machining, machining Aluminum 7050-T7451 to tolerances as small as 0.001 inch, handling an envelope about 2 feet long and 7 inches in diameter, using SolidWorks .SLDPRT files for CAD/CAM, and performing or subcontracting shot peen, anodize, and fluorescent penetrant inspection, with CMMC compliance for contractors and subcontractors. Interested parties are invited to provide a brief capability statement covering company information, technical capability against the requirements, and relevant past performance. This is a sources sought notice for market research only, not an RFP or RFQ, and it does not commit the Government to contract or pay respondent costs.

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.
