About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure self-locking nuts for FA-18 aircraft, specifically NSN 5310-008118050, through an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). The solicitation will be an unrestricted procurement with full specifications available on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) starting May 22, 2025. Qualified manufacturers for these nuts include SPS Technologies, LLC and Boeing Distribution Services X, Inc. The contract will have a base period of 5 years with zero option periods, and interested vendors must download the solicitation from DIBBS using Adobe Acrobat Reader. The formal solicitation is due by June 26, 2025, with proposals to be submitted through the designated online platform.
The procurement involves an estimated annual quantity of 34,252 nuts, with delivery scheduled 365 days after order receipt. The contract will be awarded with FOB terms at origin, and inspection and acceptance will occur at the destination. No specific set-aside has been designated for this opportunity, indicating it is open to all qualified vendors. The estimated contract value is not explicitly stated, but the annual quantity and five-year base period suggest a potentially significant procurement. Potential bidders should note that only two sources are currently approved to manufacture these specific self-locking nuts: SPS Technologies, LLC (P/N 42FLW524) and Boeing Distribution Services X, Inc. (P/N 42FLW524), which may impact competitive dynamics for this contract.
