The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting a sources sought inquiry for aircraft pipe plugs classified under NSN 4730-01-714-0100, specifically Part Number 140T2817U7, which are components for KC-46 aircraft. This is an informational market research effort to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing these pipe plugs, which fall under the NAICS category of Plastics Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing (326122). Interested parties must provide manufacturer information including location (city and state) and points of contact to Cheryl Broadie at Cheryl.broadie@dla.mil by the August 25, 2025 deadline. The agency emphasizes this is strictly for informational purposes and not a request for proposals, with no commitment to award contracts or funds available for response preparation. The government reserves the right to use submitted information without obligation and clarifies that responses are voluntary and do not constitute offers.

This pre-solicitation does not include any set-aside designation, operating under "No Set-Aside Used" status, making it open to all eligible contractors. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the notice, nor are any specific award values, budget ranges, or quantities mentioned. The timeline is limited to the five-day response window between the August 20, 2025 posting date and the August 25, 2025 due date for manufacturer information submissions. The notice does not specify delivery schedules, performance periods, or other numerical requirements beyond the basic part identification. This sources sought represents an early market research phase where the government is gathering information about the industrial base before potentially moving to a formal solicitation process.
