Eaton -B-1B BOMBER spare parts

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for spare parts used in B-1B Bomber aircraft, specifically seeking information on 43 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) of various mechanical components manufactured under CAGE code 62983. This pre-solicitation notice is issued under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority for approved sources and requires potential contractors to provide complete technical data packages, including specifications for both approved and alternate parts, since the government does not possess complete unrestrictive technical data. Contractors interested in this opportunity must respond to a market research questionnaire and identify their manufacturing capabilities, business size classification, and willingness to maintain stable pricing over multi-year contract periods. The evaluation will assess vendors' ability to provide certified cost or pricing data, their capacity to deliver the required components, and their potential to identify additional qualified manufacturers. Interested parties must submit responses directly to Brandy.Warner@dla.mil, with the due date for submissions set for April 20, 2026.

This acquisition carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any current incumbent contractors. The Defense Logistics Agency anticipates awarding an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC/LTC) with a potential duration of three to five years, though no specific contract value or budget ceiling is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The market research spreadsheet, which was revised on November 24, 2025, contains detailed information on 43 NSNs encompassing cylinders, detectors, couplings, shafts, pistons, valves, and various fastening components. Contractors are encouraged to provide feedback on contract structure preferences, raw material cost drivers, and potential cost savings opportunities that could result from longer-term contracting arrangements. The government's primary objective is to develop a realistic solicitation strategy that serves both warfighter needs and contractor capabilities while expanding the potential supplier base through identification of alternative manufacturers.
