This Request for Proposals (RFP), designated SPRTA1-26-R-1820, targets the Aircraft Part and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing industry (NAICS 336413) and requires offerors to meet specific manufacturing and quality standards. Key contract requirements include heat-treating the compressors, packaging them in debarked wooden containers in accordance with MIL-STD-130 and MIL-STD-2073-1 standards, and applying Unique Item Identification (UID) markings. Proposals must remain firm for 120 days, and the government is willing to accept early or partial deliveries. The solicitation closes on January 5, 2026, at 3:00 PM, and offerors should submit their proposals by this deadline to be considered for award.

This solicitation is set aside for small businesses, with a size standard of 1,250 employees for the designated NAICS code. The contract calls for 75 units with potential quantity ranges between 19 and 113 units depending on government needs. Delivery is scheduled in incremental quantities of 15 units per month from January through May 2027, with all items to be delivered to the DLA Distribution Depot located at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The place of performance is the United States, allowing domestic manufacturers flexibility in their production locations. No incumbent contractor or award value is specified in the solicitation notice, though the phased delivery schedule and specific quality requirements indicate a strategically important procurement for B-52 aircraft support operations.
