Hub, control wheel, a

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a control wheel for aircraft, specifically identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 7R-1680-015817946-E7. The pre-solicitation notice indicates a requirement for 4 units of this component, with delivery specified as FOB Origin. The contract opportunity is currently in the pre-solicitation phase, suggesting that potential vendors will soon have the opportunity to prepare and submit detailed proposals. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined in the notice, typical aerospace and defense procurement assessments often include factors such as technical compliance, manufacturing capabilities, quality control processes, and delivery reliability. The due date for this opportunity is February 11, 2025, providing potential contractors with approximately six weeks to prepare their responses from the initial posting date of December 28, 2024.

This contract opportunity does not have a specific small business set-aside designation, which means it is open to all qualified contractors. The procurement falls under Product Service Code (PSC) 1680, which covers miscellaneous aircraft accessories and components, indicating a specialized technical requirement. The reference number 72B-9701-08 suggests this may be part of a broader naval aviation support procurement initiative. While the exact potential award value is not specified, military aerospace component contracts typically range from tens of thousands to several hundred thousand dollars depending on complexity and quantity. The relatively small quantity of four units implies this may be a targeted replacement or maintenance-related procurement rather than a large-scale equipment refresh program.
