The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting quotes for the procurement of structural aerospace panels, specifically NSN 1560016873840, classified under NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 15 (Aerospace Craft And Structural Components). This solicitation invites all responsible sources to submit electronic quotes, with the critical deadline for submission set for December 19, 2025. The procurement includes two line items with specific delivery requirements and timelines, though the solicitation notice does not explicitly detail evaluation criteria beyond the standard requirement that quotes be timely received and submitted electronically. The notice was posted on December 11, 2025, providing potential bidders with an eight-day window to prepare and submit their proposals. Given the straightforward nature of this quote request, suppliers should ensure their submissions are complete, accurate, and submitted well before the December 19 deadline to avoid disqualification.

This solicitation is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small businesses are eligible to compete for the award. The procurement requires delivery of 2 units to DLA Distribution facility W1A8 within 533 days and 1 unit to the same facility within 180 days, establishing staggered delivery schedules for fulfillment. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or specific award value; however, the quantity specifications and delivery timelines suggest a moderate-scale procurement typical of DLA distribution requirements. Small businesses meeting the size standards for NAICS code 336413 should prioritize this opportunity, as the set-aside restriction limits competition and may improve their chances of award. All delivery is consolidated to a single DLA Distribution location, simplifying logistics and point of delivery coordination for the successful bidder.
