About this opportunity
Defense Logistics Agency Aviation – Richmond is conducting market research via a sources sought notice to identify manufacturers capable of producing close-tolerance bolts (NSN 5306-01-317-4318) for Black Hawk helicopters (UH-60A, UH-60L, HH/UH-60M, UH-60V); responses are due by August 11, 2026, with formal solicitation anticipated under updated number SPE4A627R0028.
Current approved suppliers are AVIBANK MFG., INC. (P/N AS616-102) and SPACE-LOK, INC. (P/N SLB163-102). This is a sources sought notice only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award; no funds are available for response preparation. Interested parties must demonstrate manufacturing capability equal to or exceeding current approved suppliers through the Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, submitting technical documentation to establish competency and product equivalence or superiority. Companies that previously submitted capability packages under the predecessor notice (SPE4A626R0296) need not resubmit; all historical documents remain valid.
The procurement transitioned from FY 2026 to FY 2027, resulting in an administrative change to the solicitation number. Respondents should monitor SAM.gov under the new notice ID (SPE4A627R0028) for future updates and the formal solicitation.
