The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research for a Troop Seat Assembly, specifically NSN 1680-01-527-4558 with part number SK2200-27. The agency is seeking potential manufacturers capable of providing comprehensive production services, including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Potential contractors must demonstrate robust capabilities in supply chain management, logistics planning, production forecasting, and addressing manufacturing source challenges. The evaluation criteria will focus on contractors' ability to provide services consistent in scope and scale, secure adequate corporate resources, implement effective project management plans, and deliver performance-based services. Interested parties must submit their capability statements and organizational details via email to michelle.r.scott@dla.mil by January 2, 2025, with no telephone inquiries accepted.
Currently, AMI Industries (31218) is the sole approved source for this troop seat assembly, and the government is exploring potential competitive or small business set-aside options based on market research responses. The estimated requirement is for 13 units, with the NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) guiding the procurement approach. While specific unit prices will be established during contract award, the solicitation indicates the possibility of multiple awards. The opportunity is classified under Product Service Code 1680 for Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components. No technical orders or qualification requirements are currently available, and the government has not specified a definitive budget range or contract timeline beyond the current market research phase.

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation issued a Limited/Sole Source Justification Notice for the acquisition of 13 Troop Seat Assemblies (National Stock Number 1680-01-527-4558), classified under aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing. The justification for sole source procurement directly from AMI Industries was based on AMC 3 criteria, as the manufacturer is the only known source capable of supplying this specialized component; a sources sought notice posted on SAM.GOV on December 30, 2024, received no responses, and market research efforts similarly failed to identify alternative suppliers. The contract award was made on November 24, 2025, to an undisclosed vendor with a contract value below $750,000, with the Contracting Officer Adrienne Davis approving the justification on January 3, 2025. The unavailability of technical data necessary to support full and open competition further supported the rationale for this sole source procurement. This acquisition addresses a specific operational requirement for aircraft seating components within the defense logistics framework.
