The contracted items are configuration-controlled, mission-critical parts for aircraft platforms such as the B-52, F-16, H-60, KC-135, and B-1B.

The original solicitation was a pre-solicitation for an Indefinite Quantity Contract to procure compensator assemblies for the E-3A AWACS aircraft. The contract was set aside for total small business participation, with an estimated annual quantity of 8 units and a 60-month period of performance. The solicitation sought offers from responsible sources to provide these configuration-controlled, critical application items, which are subject to export control requirements, in support of DLA Aviation's aircraft component sustainment programs.
