About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring nozzle segments for turbine engines used in F-16 fighter aircraft. This firm fixed price contract will supply titanium alloy components that enhance aerodynamics and ensure proper airflow in F100 engines. The procurement is designated as a Critical Safety Item, meaning strict compliance with safety and quality standards is mandatory. The solicitation will be conducted electronically, with only written or faxed requests from potential offerors being accepted. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on May 28, 2025, with an estimated RFP issue date of June 13, 2025, and an estimated proposal closing date of July 18, 2025. An Ombudsman has been appointed to address any concerns raised by offerors during the proposal development phase.

No set-aside designation applies to this contract. Raytheon Technology Corporation, operating under the trade name Pratt Whitney Paradigm Manchester Inc., is the incumbent contractor based on three consecutive awards (most recently on February 24, 2023). The contract calls for delivery of 375 units total, with 373 units destined to DTW004 and 2 units to DTH003, all due on or before July 16, 2025. The components measure 2.50 inches long by 6.50 inches wide by 0.75 inches high and weigh 2.30 pounds each. While specific budget information is not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the historical award pattern and quantities suggest a mid-range contract value typical of aviation component procurements. Qualified sources are limited to those meeting the government's stringent requirements for Critical Safety Items.
