About this opportunity
This pre-solicitation notice is for the procurement of the C-5 Electrical Solenoid, a critical linear actuator component used on the C-5 aircraft. The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of meeting the requirements for qualifying and producing this item. The key requirements include expertise, capabilities, and experience in manufacturing this specialized component to the necessary performance standards and ensuring compatibility with the C-5 aircraft. Interested parties are requested to respond by November 8, 2024 to demonstrate their interest and qualifications.
The notice states that Kearfott Corp. is currently the only approved manufacturer of this item, as they maintain the proprietary manufacturing data. As a result, the government does not have complete technical data to release to potential new suppliers. This pre-solicitation is not set aside for any specific business type, and the government intends to award a sole-source contract to Kearfott Corp. for this requirement. No specific award value or budget range is provided, but this actuator is a critical component for the C-5 program, indicating it is likely a high-value procurement.
