1680 - 1680 - Procurement 152 each VALVE, REGULATING SY for V-22 aircraft. NSN 1680-01-525-6162

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation Philadelphia is seeking contractors to manufacture 152 units of VALVE, REGULATING SY (NSN 1680-01-525-6162, Part Number 901-380-034-109) for V-22 aircraft. The government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source or a limited number of responsible sources under FAR 6.302-1 authority, as they do not possess the data necessary to perform the required manufacturing. Contractors must provide labor, material, and facilities required for manufacturing these aircraft components. Only approved sources will be solicited, and approval may be required for new sources, though DLA Aviation Philadelphia will not delay award while source approval is pending. All responsible sources may express interest and provide capability statements within 15 days after publication of this Sources Sought Notice, with the due date set for July 16, 2025.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and falls under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or provide specific award values or budget ranges for the 152 valve units required. The timeline for source approval is typically lengthy enough that awards cannot be delayed pending new source approval, suggesting the agency prioritizes established suppliers. New sources must submit source approval request packages along with their proposals, following requirements detailed in the Source Approval information Brochure for Spares available through the Navy Supply Systems Command website. The government reserves sole discretion in determining whether to compete this proposed contract based on responses to this notice.
