The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting offers for the manufacturing and first article testing of a Liner, Augmentor component (NSN: 2840-01-308-4467NZ, P/N: 4070107) used in Pratt & Whitney F100 series turbine engines. This is a critical safety item designed to protect convergent segments from high exhaust temperatures in aircraft engine applications. The solicitation requires contractors to demonstrate manufacturing capability through a rigorous qualification process, submit a comprehensive First Article Qualification Test Plan within 30 calendar days of contract award, and deliver a First Article Test/Inspection Report within 120 calendar days from government approval of the test plan. The government will evaluate proposals using a best value source selection process with evaluation factors prioritized as follows: (1) Technical capability, (2) Cost/Price, (3) Past Performance, and (4) Small Business Participation. The solicitation closes on January 26, 2026 at 3:00 PM, with questions and proposals due by this deadline.

This procurement includes no set-aside designations and is open to all eligible contractors, though first article testing requirements are waived if the offeror is Pratt & Whitney. The contract calls for three first article units (two as part of production quantity and one additional) and production quantities ranging from 150 to 900 units depending on the production range selected. Contractors must perform both destructive and non-destructive testing, with one article condemned following destructive testing at the vendor's facility. All manufacturing must occur at the same facilities used for production, and packaging must comply with military standards MIL-STD-2073-1 and MIL-STD-129 with specific wood packaging material requirements per United Nations restrictions. The place of performance is primarily at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, where the DLA Distribution Depot Oklahoma is located, with coordination through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Tinker AFB.
