The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (DLA Aviation) is soliciting quotes for a Cylinder Assembly with National Stock Number 1650-01-040-8468, specifically a hydraulic operated actuator used to engage/disengage a speed brake assembly. The solicitation (SPRTA1-25-Q-0371) was posted on May 23, 2025, with quotes due by June 23, 2025, and requires contractors to manufacture the item from aluminum, steel, and rubber with manufacturer part number 98391 1211178-006. The procurement involves multiple Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Jordan, and is classified under NAICS code 336413 with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Contractors must comply with unique item identification (IUID) marking standards and hold offered prices firm for 120 days. The evaluation will likely focus on technical compliance, pricing, and the ability to meet specific delivery requirements for each FMS case.

The solicitation is not a small business set-aside and does not specify a particular incumbent contractor. The procurement requires one unit for each FMS case, with varying delivery windows and requisition priorities. While specific award value is not disclosed, the contract is firm-fixed price and involves precision aerospace components. The place of performance is not explicitly stated but will likely be at a qualified manufacturing facility capable of producing aerospace hydraulic components. Contractors must demonstrate the capability to manufacture a complex actuator assembly that meets military specifications, with potential production for international military customers. The procurement timeline suggests a near-term delivery requirement, with quotes being evaluated and potentially awarded shortly after the June 23, 2025 submission deadline.
