About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential manufacturers or suppliers of aircraft brake and hydraulic system components for Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (MABS) FY26 additions. The components being sought include rotor assemblies, bolts, plugs, seals, keys, packings, brakes, pistons, springs, cylinders, and bushings. Interested parties must demonstrate their capability to manufacture these items equal to or better than the current Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) standards. Responses must be submitted by 3:00 PM EST on November 17, 2025, and should include points of contact and manufacturer location information. This Sources Sought Notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment by the government to award a contract. No evaluation criteria have been specified at this stage, as this is purely market research to assess alternative sources of supply. No funds are available for response preparation, and all submitted information is strictly voluntary.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and reflects an effort to break the current sole-source arrangement with MABS (CAGE code 0B9R9). Interested contractors seeking approval as an "Approved Source" must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the designated DoD SAFE file transmission system, demonstrating technical and quality capabilities that meet or exceed OEM specifications. The current notice does not specify award values, budget ranges, or quantities for individual line items, as this is preliminary market research rather than a formal procurement action. The review process for SAR submissions can exceed 180 days, and formal notification of approval decisions will be provided upon completion. Respondents are encouraged to review the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and consult the Source Approval Handbook before submission to understand the full requirements for becoming an approved alternative source.
