About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a sources sought notice to conduct market research regarding the availability of manufacturers or suppliers capable of producing or legitimately obtaining NSN 1560-006142412, a flexible coupling assembly designated for use on C/KC-130 aircraft. This notice is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation, request for offer, or commitment by the government to award a contract. Interested companies must submit responses by December 6, 2025, at 8:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. Potential respondents should note that no funds are available to compensate companies for the preparation of responses, and all information submitted is strictly voluntary. Since this is a source-controlled item, the Defense Logistics Agency cannot approve sources directly; companies interested in qualifying their products for future acquisitions must contact the design control activity specified on the source control drawing.
This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation. The item is currently manufactured by three identified contractors: The Boeing Company (CAGE 81205, P/N 10-2733-1), Goodrich Corporation (CAGE 25472, P/N 5A1040), and Arrowhead Products Corporation (CAGE 70628, P/N 91190). The notice does not disclose specific award values, budget ranges, or procurement quantities. Responses received from interested companies will provide the DLA with market intelligence regarding alternative sources of supply for this military aviation component, potentially informing future procurement strategies and competitive sourcing decisions.
