Nose gearbox

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure one nose gearbox unit through this pre-solicitation notice. The specific item required is identified by NSN 7R-1650-016672428-H5 with reference number 06365-10000-044, falling under the Aircraft Hydraulic, Vacuum, and De-Icing System Components category (PSC 1650). The delivery terms specify FOB Origin, meaning the contractor will be responsible for shipping costs and risk of loss until the goods reach the origin point. The solicitation was posted on February 28, 2025, with responses due by August 28, 2025, providing interested contractors with a six-month window to prepare their submissions. The notice does not specify particular evaluation criteria or contractor qualifications at this pre-solicitation stage.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available for competition among all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The opportunity requires delivery of a single unit (quantity of 1 EA), indicating this is likely a replacement part or specialized component for naval aircraft systems. No incumbent contractor information or current service providers are identified in the notice. The posting does not include estimated contract values or budget ranges, which is typical for pre-solicitation notices that serve primarily to gauge market interest and capability. The extended timeline from February to August suggests the Navy anticipates a complex procurement process or specialized manufacturing requirements for this aircraft component.
