Set-aside: No Set aside used
NAICS: 336413
Scope: Federal

The F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Program Office (PMA-265) intends to issue a firm fixed price competitive solicitation for non-recurring engineering (NRE) for F/A-18E/F and EA-18G Nose Landing Gear (NLG) and Main Landing Gear (MLG) Conformal Anodes to facilitate the transition from legacy Cadmium (CAD) plating to Low Hydrogen Embrittlement (LHE) Zinc/Nickel (Zn/Ni) plating.

Under this effort, the Contractor will design, develop, fabricate, and deliver conformal anodes, associated technical drawings, and anode cases for Zn/Ni plating for the specified landing gear components.

The Contractor will be responsible for performing first article inspection (FAI) in conjunction with the existing landing gear overhaul line and confirm, through current density analysis reports, adequate thickness and uniformity of Zn/Ni plating.

In addition, the Contractor will also be required to provide the necessary updates to the Technical Data Package to support the transition to Zn/Ni.

How to bid on this

This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.

Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
