About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure aircraft fairings (skin components) for B-52 aircraft under NSN 1560-012535258, specifically part number 16T7465-4. This procurement will be structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a five-year base period and no option years, issued under unrestricted competition rather than full and open competition. Contractors must be certified by the Department of Defense to access unclassified data per DOD 5220.22M, requiring submission of DD Form 2345 (Military Critical Technical Data Agreement) to the Defense Logistics Information Services. Government first article testing is mandatory, with delivery required 150 days after receipt of order and government approval/disapproval within 180 days of first article receipt. The solicitation is expected to be issued on or about August 21, 2025, with proposals due by September 23, 2025, and will be available exclusively through the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).
This procurement does not include any set-aside designations and lists seven approved manufacturing sources: Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, CPI Aerostructures Inc, Kihomac Inc, Albany Aerostructures Composites LLC, Applied Composites Engineering Inc, Nordam Group LLC, and Lockheed Martin Corporation. The estimated annual quantity is 16 units, with production units requiring delivery 150 days after government approval of the first article. The contract includes specific delivery terms with FOB at destination, first article inspection at origin with acceptance at destination, and production unit inspection and acceptance at origin. While no specific contract value is provided, the five-year duration and annual quantity of 16 units indicate a sustained requirement for this B-52 aircraft component. The 150-day delivery timeline for both first article and production units establishes clear performance expectations for potential contractors.
