Sustainability Analysis and New Source Development for C-5 Ductwork

Sunbelt proposes to expand the Small Business Manufacturer (SBM) base for C-5 Ductwork items managed by the DLA.  There are currently only limited sources for these items. Sunbelt will research the manufacturing processes and materials for the subset of 12 items in the NSN list for this SBIR.  Sunbelt will develop models and drawings for the items, price the materials and processes, and determine cost drivers. We expect to submit one or more SAR packages under this proposal, and the remainder under Phase II, by similarity with Phase I. Sunbelt has experience  building aircraft parts using Titanium materials and associated manufacturing processes to legacy drawings. Sunbelt has researched all 35 NSNs associated with this topic to develop this proposal.
