About this opportunity
AI summaryThe 424 SCMS/GUEA seeks market research to identify and transition prospective suppliers and manufacturers for KC-135 fuel cells and fuel bladders. Because a constrained manufacturing base of only two qualified sources poses supply chain vulnerability for fuel cell sustainment, the buyer coordinates with Boeing under an active CSAG initiative to expand the qualified vendor pool. The agency may consolidate prospective vendor capabilities for referral and qualification evaluation by Boeing across multiple listed national stock numbers and part configurations. Interested vendors must submit a capabilities statement by email to [email protected].
