About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers or suppliers for a specific pressure bellows component (NSN 1660-00-340-0906) used in B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The agency is seeking companies capable of manufacturing or legitimately obtaining this critical aerospace part, which is currently produced by Hydro-Aire Aerospace Corp. Interested parties must submit a detailed Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating their ability to produce a product equal to or better than the existing item. The technical evaluation will focus on manufacturing capabilities, quality assurance, and compliance with aerospace standards. Potential suppliers must submit their responses electronically to Tatjana Klemmer at tatjana.vaughan@dla.mil by December 2, 2024, at 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.
This pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation and is open to qualified manufacturers across the aircraft parts sector (NAICS 336413). While no specific award value is mentioned, the opportunity is for a specialized aerospace component used in military aircraft maintenance. The current manufacturer, Hydro-Aire Aerospace Corp (CAGE 81982), holds the existing production rights for the pressure bellows. The source approval process is comprehensive, potentially taking over 180 days for full evaluation, and requires extensive documentation proving technical competence and quality control. Suppliers must use the DoD SAFE file transmission site for submitting their SAR packages and are advised to review demand forecasting through the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application before investing significant resources in the application process.
