Actuator, Electro-Me

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking proposals for the new manufacture of electro-mechanical linear actuators specifically designed for F-15 aircraft operations. These actuators, identified by part number R15015-15E-1 and National Stock Number 1680-01-228-3821, convert electrical energy into controlled mechanical push-pull motion and are classified under NAICS code 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. Contractors must comply with quality standards ISO 9001-2015 and AS9100, and all items must be marked with a Unique Item Identifier (IUID) for tracking purposes. The solicitation was posted on June 17, 2025, with proposals due by July 17, 2025, providing contractors with a 30-day response window. Offerors must be prepared to provide cost data and analysis of product pricing when requested by the contracting officer, and distributors/dealers are responsible for supporting all costs in their proposals.

While this solicitation indicates "No Set-Aside Used" in the opportunity notice, the RFP document reveals it is actually set aside for potential small business categories including women-owned small business (WOSB), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, and 8(a) programs, with a small business size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract calls for 38 actuators with a minimum order quantity of 10 units and maximum of 57 units, providing flexibility in the final award quantity. Delivery is required by February 20, 2027, to the DLA Distribution Depot located at Hill Air Force Base in Utah. No incumbent contractors or current suppliers are identified in the solicitation documentation. The place of performance is designated as the United States, though specific manufacturing locations will depend on the successful contractor's facilities and capabilities.
