The procurement involves specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for egress-related cartridges. A primary constraint is that the government does not own the technical data required for manufacturing. Consequently, sources must already possess or be able to obtain the necessary proprietary technical data. The Air Force is evaluating industry experience in engineering, manufacturing, and testing egress components under NAICS code 325920, Explosive Manufacturing. Responses are due by June 20, 2026, and the primary place of performance is Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
