About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of 49 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) of life support and aircraft component equipment, including oxygen masks, pressure indicators, valves, and headset/helmet items used on F-15, F-16, and C-130 weapon systems. This sources-sought notice is intended to solicit interest from potential contractors regarding a sole-source, requirements-type, long-term contract that the government plans to award to Gentex Corporation under FAR 6.302-1 based on the justification that only one responsible source exists. Interested parties must identify their capability and interest by April 2, 2026, by contacting contracting officer Vanessa Vickers at Vanessa.Vickers@dla.mil. The procurement includes special requirements for life support items, first article testing, origin inspection, and critical safety item certification. The estimated award date is November 15, 2026, with the primary deadline for sources-sought responses being April 2, 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a follow-on to the existing contract SPE4AX17D9402 currently held by Gentex Corporation (CAGE 60420), which covers 31 NSNs and expires November 28, 2026. The new contract is structured as a 10-year long-term contract consisting of a 2-year base period with four optional 2-year renewal periods, with pricing structured across three periods: Years 1-4, Years 5-8 (with repricing), and Years 9-10. The procurement expands the requirement from the current 31 NSNs to 49 NSNs, and the items fall under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). While no specific award value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the expansion of line items and extended contract period indicate a significant procurement value. The government previously issued the existing contract as unrestricted, and further contract details may be accessed through the DLA FOIA website.
