About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring fire detection system sensing elements for AH-64E Apache helicopters under an indefinite quantity contract (IQC) spanning a five-year base period with no options. This component, identified by NSN 6340-01-296-7381, is classified under aircraft alarm and signal systems and will be awarded through a reverse auction conducted online via the DLA Procurex platform. Prospective bidders must register at DLA.PROCUREXINC.COM to participate in the auction process, with technical support available through the Procurex Help Desk. The full solicitation details will be available through the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/rfp in portable document format. The solicitation closing date is April 2, 2026, which represents the critical deadline for bid submission.
This procurement was initially issued as a 100% small business set-aside but has been amended to allow full and open competition among all qualified contractors. Known manufacturers of this part include Meggitt Safety Systems Inc., Jamaica Bearings Co. Inc., Lynn Electronics LLC, Echelon Supply and Service Inc., and The Boeing Company, each offering alternative part numbers for supply consideration. The estimated annual quantity requirement is 40 units, with delivery required within 365 days of order placement and inspection and acceptance occurring at the origin. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, though the multi-year contract structure and modest annual quantity suggest a relatively limited procurement value. Interested suppliers should self-register promptly to avoid delays and should review available online training materials to understand the reverse auction bidding process.
