About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring structural fittings (NSN 1560017292359) for B-1B aircraft through a firm fixed-price contract. This direct procurement requires government first article testing (FAT) to be completed within 198 days of award, with evaluation occurring over 240 days, and production delivery scheduled for 720 days after award. Inspection and acceptance will occur at the contractor's origin facility, with Free on Board delivery at destination. The solicitation will be issued on or about March 23, 2026, and potential offerors should note the March 19, 2026 pre-solicitation notice due date. Detailed solicitation documents will be available exclusively through the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/rfp in PDF format.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting competition to qualified small business concerns. The government seeks to purchase a quantity of 20 units of the structural fitting component. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the firm fixed-price contract structure and phased delivery timeline indicate a substantial procurement involving initial tooling and testing phases followed by production deliveries. Interested small business contractors should prepare their proposals and gather relevant technical documentation, as formal solicitation release is imminent and the competitive window will follow shortly thereafter.
