The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure aircraft structural components through a pre-solicitation notice for National Stock Number (NSN) 7R-1560-014938803-QE. The solicitation references contract number 74A328666-1009 and involves the acquisition of three (3) airframe structural components to be delivered FOB Origin. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement falls under Product Service Code (PSC) 1560 for Airframe Structural Components, suggesting technical specifications and manufacturing capabilities will likely be key assessment factors. The opportunity was posted on November 29, 2024, with a response deadline of January 12, 2025, indicating potential contractors have approximately six weeks to prepare and submit their proposals. The pre-solicitation notice suggests this is a competitive procurement not restricted to small businesses or specific vendor categories.

The solicitation does not specify a set-aside designation, which implies the contract is open to all qualified vendors capable of meeting the Department of the Navy's requirements. No incumbent contractor information is provided in the notice, and the estimated contract value is not disclosed based on the available information. The procurement involves a small quantity of three units, which might indicate a specialized or high-value component with specific technical requirements. The Defense agency's involvement suggests these airframe structural components are likely for military aviation applications, potentially for maintenance, replacement, or upgrade of existing aircraft systems. The FOB Origin delivery specification indicates that the selected vendor will be responsible for initial transportation of the goods, with the government assuming responsibility once the items are shipped from the point of origin.
