About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential sources for an E-M Aircraft Actuator (Part Number 541594-6-3) through a Sources Sought notice. The procurement aims to secure 94 units of this aircraft component, with potential suppliers required to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Interested companies must submit detailed capability statements by February 14, 2025, at 3 PM EST, addressing their technical, financial, and human capital resources to perform the contract. The agency will evaluate submissions based on three primary criteria: the ability to provide supplies consistent with the described scope, demonstrate full corporate resource capacity, and deliver supplies under a firm-fixed price contract. All responses must be emailed to Sharon.Hall@dla.mil, with no telephone inquiries accepted.

This pre-solicitation notice indicates the procurement may be set aside for small businesses or proceed through full and open competition, with the potential for multiple contract awards. The NAICS code for this opportunity is 336413, categorizing it under Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. While no specific budget or award value is disclosed, potential sources must be prepared to manage complex supply chain requirements, including long-lead time parts procurement, diminishing manufacturing source mitigation, and logistics planning. Suppliers will be expected to handle the entire manufacturing process from component procurement to final asset shipping. Technical orders and specific qualification requirements are currently unavailable, and the government emphasizes that this notice is purely informational, with no commitment to contract award and no funds available for response preparation.
