Cell, fuel, aircraft

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting quotes for aircraft fuel cells, specifically 10 units of NSN 1560017081070 to be delivered to the DLA Distribution Center in San Joaquin. This is a Request for Quotation (RFQ) that welcomes bids from all responsible sources; however, approved sources include vendors 05476 and 97499, with specific part numbers 62651-11 and 450-366-001-103 respectively. The solicitation was posted on January 13, 2026, with a response deadline of January 21, 2026, providing potential bidders with eight days to prepare and submit their quotes. All quotes must be submitted electronically through the provided link, and no hard copies of the solicitation, specifications, plans, or drawings are available. The evaluation criteria and specific technical requirements will be contained within the RFQ itself, which is the sole source document for this procurement.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to competition from any qualified contractor. The delivery requirement specifies 238 days after order (ADO) to the W1A8 facility, establishing a firm timeline for contract performance. While no specific budget range or award value is disclosed in this notice, the procurement is classified under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code 15 (Aerospace Craft and Structural Components), reflecting the specialized nature of aircraft component sourcing. The quantity required is 10 units, with delivery concentrated at a single DLA distribution facility in San Joaquin. Interested contractors should note that this is a relatively short-window opportunity, requiring prompt preparation and submission of competitive quotes to meet the January 21, 2026 deadline.
