About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of supplying NSN 1660-01-183-2008, an aircraft duct assembly for the Galaxy C-5 aircraft. This pre-solicitation notice seeks capability information from interested organizations to determine the appropriate procurement method, with responses due by January 30, 2026. Interested parties must submit organizational information including company details, contact information, and tailored capability statements demonstrating technical and financial capacity to perform the work. The government will evaluate submissions based on four primary criteria: the ability to provide services consistent in scope and scale with the requirement, capacity to secure and apply necessary corporate financial, human capital, and technical resources, implementation of a successful project management plan addressing schedules, cost containment, and personnel retention, and capability to deliver services under performance-based acquisition arrangements. Importantly, this is a voluntary market research survey and does not constitute a formal request for proposals; the government assumes no financial responsibility for any costs incurred by respondents.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is classified under NAICS code 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) with a Product Service Code of 1660 (Aircraft Air Conditioning, Heating, and Pressurizing Equipment). No incumbent contractor information, award value, or specific quantity requirements are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, as the market research phase is designed to assess overall market capacity before formal solicitation. The compressed timeline for responses—with a due date of January 30, 2026, just three days from the posting date—indicates the agency's need to quickly gather capability information to inform procurement strategy development. No formal proposal deadline or contract award timeline is provided at this stage, as the government will use the responses to shape the eventual competitive procurement.
