J-85 Spraybar, Pilot Afte

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure 5,221 units of J-85 Spraybars (NSN 2915-00-782-1759OK) for pilot aftermarket components through a non-competitive procurement under FAR 6.302 authority. The solicitation (SPRTA1-25-R-0710) will be issued electronically on www.fbo.gov, with a projected Request for Proposal (RFP) release date of 16-Apr-2025 and a response deadline of 19-May-2025. Price will be a significant evaluation factor in the procurement process, and the government will consider proposals received within a 45-day window. Contractors with questions during proposal development can contact the solicitation's ombudsman at (405) 734-8241, with the primary point of contact being Jeremy Bryant, reachable at 405-855-7112 or Jeremy.bryant@us.af.mil. The procurement falls under the Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing NAICS category (336412) and the Engine Fuel System Components PSC category (2915).

The current approved source for these spraybars is Delevan, Inc., with the previous contract having been awarded to Collins Engine Nozzles, Inc. at a unit price of $1,490.00. The contract does not have a specific set-aside designation and appears to be open to qualified manufacturers in the aircraft engine components sector. The requested delivery timeline requires all 5,221 units to be delivered on or before 30 June 2025, suggesting a relatively tight production and delivery schedule. Based on the previous contract's unit pricing, the potential total contract value could approximate $7,779,190, though this is not explicitly confirmed in the solicitation synopsis. The procurement represents a targeted acquisition of specialized aircraft engine fuel system components, indicating a focused and specific procurement need within the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation's supply chain.
