Central controller

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure 12 Central Controllers for the CH-47 Chinook helicopter through solicitation SPRRA1-25-R-0068. These components carry National Stock Number 1560-01-722-3028 and Part Number 724VS203-2, representing critical airframe structural components for military helicopter operations. The procurement is structured as a one-time buy firm fixed-price contract that requires a First Article Test (FAT) to ensure quality standards, though the FAT unit will not be retained as a manufacturing standard. The contract includes specific requirements for markings, packaging, and documentation including TAMMS-A and Serial Number Requirement Reporting. The evaluation will utilize a Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) methodology, with technical acceptability determined by conformance to all solicitation requirements. The solicitation was posted on September 25, 2025, with responses due by October 31, 2025.

This procurement does not include any set-aside designations and is limited to approved sources, specifically The Boeing Company and Lord Corporation. The contract specifies delivery of all 12 units within 270 days after contract award, extending to 405 days if First Article Testing is required. The components will be delivered to the DLA Distribution Depot in Oklahoma at a rate of 12 units per month once delivery commences. While the solicitation document does not specify the total contract value or budget range, the structured timeline and specific technical requirements indicate this is a critical maintenance procurement for the military's CH-47 helicopter fleet. The place of performance is designated as Oklahoma, USA, aligning with the delivery location to the DLA Distribution Depot.
