About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential sources for manufacturing shear bolts, specifically for AH-64D Longbow helicopter components. The agency is seeking manufacturers capable of producing 1,428 bolts with specific part numbers, including VCC0109-14D48 and SLB289-14D48, under North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 339991. Potential sources must demonstrate the ability to provide comprehensive manufacturing services, including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. The government will evaluate respondents based on their capacity to provide services consistent with the scope, secure necessary corporate resources, implement effective project management, and meet tight program schedules. Interested parties are required to submit their capability statements via email to lionel.allamby@dla.mil by 3:00 PM EST on April 19, 2025, with the understanding that this is a voluntary market research effort and not a formal solicitation.

The opportunity is currently set aside for HUBZone small businesses, with the potential for full and open competition or multiple awards. No specific budget range or incumbent contractor was mentioned in the notice. The bolts are intended for military equipment, specifically the AH-64D Longbow helicopter, and will involve complex manufacturing processes including supply chain management, logistics planning, and addressing potential diminishing manufacturing sources. The contract will ultimately establish unit prices upon award, with potential responsibilities extending to long-lead time parts procurement and material shortage mitigation. Respondents are advised that this is an informational notice only, and no funds are available for response preparation. The government retains full discretion in determining the procurement method and is not obligated to award a contract based on the responses received.
