Panel, structural, AI

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure a Structural Panel (NSN 1560015455561) through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The solicitation targets the manufacturing of aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, specifically focusing on a single structural panel with a quantity of one unit. Approved sources for this procurement are limited to seven specific manufacturers, including codes 06DM5, 0C7H8, 1P642, and others. Electronic quote submissions are mandatory, with quotes required to be received by January 2, 2025. All responsible sources may submit a quote, which will be considered if received in a timely manner. The solicitation does not provide specifications, plans, or drawings, and hard copies will not be available.

The contract opportunity does not have a specific set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors within the Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing NAICS category (336413). Delivery is expected within 170 days after order (ADO) to the DLA Distribution Depot in Oklahoma. The procurement falls under Product Service Code 15-P for Aerospace Craft and Structural Components, indicating a specialized aerospace component acquisition. While specific award values are not disclosed, the single-unit requirement suggests a focused, potentially high-value procurement for a critical aerospace structural component. The solicitation's narrow list of approved sources implies a technical or specialized manufacturing requirement that limits potential bidders to pre-qualified manufacturers with specific capabilities.
