About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking offers for aircraft structural panels for the C/KC-135 Stratolifter aircraft, specifically NSN 1560-010230607. This procurement falls under the Airframe Structural Components category (PSC 1560) and requires suppliers to be engaged in Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (NAICS 336413). Key contract requirements include a 60-month ordering period with an estimated annual quantity of 10 units during the base period, compliance with export control regulations, and a total production and delivery schedule of 365 days. The procurement is structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract with FOB Destination terms. Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) will be used to evaluate contractor past performance. The solicitation was issued on or about March 27, 2026, with a response deadline of April 27, 2026, and interested parties must submit written proposals to the provided fax number (804) 279-4165 or access the detailed solicitation documents through the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).
This is a 100% Total Small Business Set Aside procurement, restricting eligibility to small business concerns only. The contract carries no options to extend beyond the initial five-year term, and neither First Article Test requirements nor Production Lot Test requirements apply to this item. Configuration control is mandated, and the item is classified as a Critical Application Item, though not as a Critical Safety Item. The estimated annual quantity of ten units over the five-year period indicates a relatively modest procurement volume. While no specific budget range or incumbent contractor information is provided in this pre-solicitation notice, the structural nature of the component and the extended delivery timeline suggest this is a specialized manufacturing requirement with stringent quality and compliance standards.
