Manifold Assembly

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure Manifold Assembly No. 4 parts for F100-220 engines, specifically a critical safety item used to atomize fuel for aircraft engine afterburners. The solicitation (SPRTA1-25-R-1910) is an unrestricted competitive procurement for new manufacture of nickel alloy manifold assemblies with a specific National Stock Number (2915-01-659-5074). The contract will be awarded using a Performance Price Tradeoff methodology, evaluating technical acceptability, price, and past performance as key criteria. Proposals are due by March 26, 2025 at 3:00 PM, with the government intending to make a best value award. Potential vendors must comply with extensive Manufacture Qualification Requirements (MQR) for critical safety items, which include detailed technical data rights certification, quality assurance documentation, and process inspection methods.

The solicitation includes multiple Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) with a base quantity of 22 units, 2 First Article Test units, and an additional production quantity of 24 units. There is no specific set-aside designation for this contract, making it open to all qualified manufacturers in the Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing sector (NAICS 336412). The contract performance will be for manufacturing in the United States, with a contract approval duration of 3 years for critical safety items. The Engineering Support Activity (ESA) will evaluate all submissions using standard Form 815 and must complete reviews within specified timeframes. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the complexity of the manufacturing requirements and the specialized nature of the aircraft engine component suggest a potentially significant contract value for the successful bidder.
