About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking qualified manufacturers capable of producing a Shim Set (NSN 5365-01-705-8111) for B-1B Bomber applications, classified under PSC Category 5365 (Bushings, Rings, Shims, and Spacers). This pre-solicitation notice functions as a Sources Sought announcement to identify potential suppliers before formal solicitation. Interested parties must submit responses by November 18, 2025, demonstrating their manufacturing capability and qualifications for this component. Potential contractors should provide their location (city and state), points of contact, and relevant company information to dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil with the subject line "Request a SAR drop off," including their CAGE code, the NSN, and preferred email address to receive the DoDSafe submission link. DLA Aviation requires all Source Approval Requests (SAR) to be submitted through the secure DoDSafe platform due to cybersecurity protocols. The evaluation of potential suppliers will be based on their demonstrated manufacturing capability, quality certifications, and ability to meet delivery requirements for this critical defense component.
This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business entities as defined by the Small Business Administration. The contract requires delivery of 4 units of the Shim Set, representing the total quantity needed for this acquisition. No current contractor information or incumbent supplier details are identified in this pre-solicitation notice, indicating this may be an open competition for new or alternative suppliers. The specific award value or budget range has not been disclosed in this announcement, which is typical for pre-solicitation notices intended primarily to gauge market interest and identify qualified sources. Prospective contractors should note that the November 18, 2025 deadline is firm, and all submissions must follow the prescribed DoDSafe submission process rather than traditional email or portal submissions to ensure compliance with Department of Defense security requirements.
