About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Sources Sought Notice for NSN 1650-012496172, a Linear Actuating Cap used in aircraft hydraulic systems with Weapon System Designator Code 19F. This market research initiative seeks to identify companies capable of manufacturing or legitimately obtaining this aviation component to expand the approved source base beyond current manufacturers. Companies interested in becoming qualified suppliers must submit responses by July 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time to tatjana.vaughan@dla.mil, though this notice is informational only and does not constitute a solicitation. To achieve approved source status, interested manufacturers must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the established SAR Program, demonstrating their ability to produce components meeting or exceeding the quality standards of currently approved items. The evaluation process focuses on technical capability, manufacturing competency, and quality assurance standards as outlined in the attached Joint Aeronautical Commanders' Group Source Approval and Management Handbook.
This opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified manufacturers. Current approved sources include RBC Transport Dynamics Corp (part number 178540), Honeywell International Inc (part number 178540), The Boeing Company (part number 68B410067-2001), New Hampshire Ball Bearings Inc (part number AD60-303), and Sargent Aerospace & Defense LLC (part number KMS-1268). No contract values, quantities, or budget ranges are specified in this pre-solicitation notice, as it serves purely as a market research tool. The SAR review process can extend beyond 180 days, and the government emphasizes that no funds are available for response preparation costs. Companies must use the DoD SAFE file transmission system for SAR submissions and will receive formal notification letters regarding their application status upon completion of the evaluation process.
