About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing bellows assemblies (NSN 1680-01-192-2609). Interested parties must demonstrate the resources and capability to furnish all labor, materials, facilities, and equipment required for new manufacture, including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Key qualifications include the ability to manage supply chain logistics, coordinate long-lead time parts procurement, address diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages, and execute successful project management with compliance to tight program schedules. The government will evaluate responses based on corporate financial resources, human capital, technical capabilities, and the ability to provide services consistent in scope and scale with the stated requirements. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on November 4, 2025, with responses due by November 10, 2025; however, this is market research only, and no formal solicitation currently exists.
This is not a set-aside procurement. The current manufacturer of record is Arrowhead Products Corp. (CAGE 70628, part number 300505-19), though this notice is specifically intended to develop vendor interest for future competitive opportunities rather than the immediate buy. The estimated annual quantity requirement is 80 units, with the NAICS code 336413 assigned to the procurement category. No specific award value or budget range has been disclosed in this market research notice. It is important to note that submission of capability information is purely voluntary, the government assumes no financial responsibility for response costs, and this pre-solicitation is designed to identify qualified vendors for approval to compete on subsequent procurement actions rather than the current acquisition.
