Key dates and deadlines
This Request for Proposal (RFP) was published on July 14, 2026. The deadline for submitting your proposal is August 14, 2026, at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. All proposals must be received by this exact time.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is specifically for companies that are already on the Air Force's approved sources list for these cylinder assemblies. The Air Force does not own the data for these parts, which is why bidding is restricted to pre-approved vendors. Additionally, vendors must comply with Level 2 Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) requirements.
