About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is establishing a requirements contract to procure the HC/MC-130 Aerial Nozzle Press (Coupler), identified by National Stock Number 1680-01-530-3831 and Part Number 50725. This non-commercial component is a critical refueling system element attached to HC/MC-130 aircraft refueling hoses, consisting of a cone-shaped housing, three spring-loaded locking mechanisms, a poppet valve, and connector assembly that regulates fuel delivery pressure to prevent system damage. The solicitation was posted on January 27, 2026, with proposals due by February 26, 2026. While the Government description indicates evaluation criteria will be applied to all responsive submissions, specific evaluation methodology and contract award values are not detailed in the provided materials. The solicitation notes that all responsible sources may submit capability statements, proposals, or quotations for consideration, though technical data package ownership by the Government is not available for this procurement.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and will be solicited on a sole-source basis to Blue Aerospace LLC (CAGE 1WZW9) pursuant to 10 USC 2304(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1, though all responsible sources are permitted to submit proposals. The place of performance is Warner Robins, Georgia, located at Robins Air Force Base where DLA Distribution Warner Robins will receive deliveries. Specific contract value and quantity requirements are not disclosed in the solicitation notice summary, though supporting documentation indicates two line items are included in the procurement (NSN 1680015303831LG and NSN 1680DTL26006ALG). Contractor performance obligations include submitting an Item Unique Identification (IUID) Marking Plan within 30 calendar days of award and quarterly IUID Marking Activity, Validation and Verification Reports. All packaging must comply with MIL-STD-2073-1 and MIL-STD-129 Revision R standards, with designated points of contact including Contracting Officer Dorothy A. Langford at 478-327-6593.
Notice text
This action is to establish a Requirements Contract for the acquisition of the HC/MC-130 Aerial Nozzle Press (Hereafter referred to as the Coupler or Coupling),National Stock Number (NSN):1680-01-530-3831, Part Number (P/N): 50725, which is a non-commercial item that is applicable to the HC/MC-130 Aircrafts.
The Coupling National Stock Number (NSN):1680-01-530-3831, Part Number(P/N): 50725, is attached to the refueling hose just AFT of the ejection spring. The coupling consists primarily of a housing, locking mechanism, poppet valve, and connector. The coupling also includes a hose end pressure regulating feature which pre-vents surges in fuel delivery pressure, which prevents damage to fuel system components on the receiver airplane, and also to an extent on the tanker airplane. The housing is cone shaped to guide the entrance of the mating nozzle on the receiver airplane. There are three locking mechanisms, consisting of spring-loaded pistons, eccentrically attached to arms and rollers. Insertion of the receiver probe nozzle actuates the arm and roller assemblies. Passages are provided in the housing to allow a sample of fluid pressure into piston chambers of locking mechanisms. This fluid pressure, tapped from the fuel flow passing to the receiver airplane, adds pressure to the roller locking mechanisms to in-crease the force required for disconnect to420 ±20 pounds. The spring-loaded closed poppet valve is mounted in a ball-shaped housing extension. The poppet valve is opened by the tip of the receiver airplane probe nozzle upon its insertion. The connector, with a ring and connector cap, forms a socket for the ball shaped housing extension.
The Government does not own the technical data package for this item. This requirement will be solicited sole source to manufacturer BLUEAEROSPACE LLC (CAGE 1WZW9) pursuant to 10 USC 2304(c)(1); FAR 6.302-1. All responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal or quotation, which shall be considered by the agency.
