About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, through DLA Weapons Support (Richmond), has issued this Pre-Solicitation Notice to conduct market research regarding the manufacture and supply of 68 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. This Sources Sought Notice is intended to determine whether companies other than the current approved source can manufacture or legitimately obtain these items. A critical requirement is that all items require Government Source Approval prior to award, and interested contractors must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DoDSafe link to demonstrate their ability to manufacture products equal to or exceeding the quality standards of the currently approved item. The evaluation will focus on the contractor's technical capability to competently manufacture the product to the same level of quality or better than the required item, with the burden of proof resting on the prospective contractor. The deadline for responses is April 8, 2026, and interested parties should direct inquiries to dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil with the subject line "Request a SAR Drop Off," including their CAGE code, the relevant NSN, and contact email address.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and currently lists Boeing (CAGE 0PXV4) as the sole approved source for these items. The Pre-Solicitation Notice explicitly states that this announcement is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation, commitment, or request for an offer; no funds are available to reimburse respondents for proposal preparation costs. The specific NSNs are detailed in the attached "Apache Tech NIINs List.pdf," which contains approximately 100 line items with National Item Identification Numbers paired to corresponding part numbers spanning multiple product categories in the 7-1 through 7-6 series. No contract award value, budget range, or specific quantities are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the primary objective is to identify potential alternative sources capable of meeting the stringent quality and technical standards required by DLA Aviation.
