About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing C-5 aircraft thrust reversers, specifically the Thrust Reverser Righthand (NSN 1560-01-611-6419UC, P/N 4P39001-140A) and Thrust Reverser Lefthand (NSN 1560-01-620-9648UC, P/N 4P39001-139A). These critical aircraft components function to slow the airplane and reduce landing distance requirements, while also enabling rapid descent capability when deployed on inboard engines during flight. The procurement is limited to entities that meet Distribution Statement and Export Control Notice requirements for the technical data package. The government intends to use Other Than Full and Open Competition under FAR 6.302-1, citing that only one responsible source exists and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. Interested manufacturers must respond by July 9, 2025, by contacting the specified government personnel via email.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified manufacturers who can meet the technical and security requirements. No specific incumbent contractors or current suppliers are identified in the notice. The announcement does not provide award values, budget ranges, or specific quantities required for these thrust reverser components. The procurement timeline focuses solely on the market research phase, with the July 9, 2025 deadline for expressing interest and capability, though no subsequent solicitation timeline is specified. This sources sought notice serves purely for informational and market research purposes, with no guarantee of future contract awards or funding availability for response preparation.
