About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to establish an Indefinite Quantity Contract for a Parts Kit, Fastener (NSN 1560-01-631-0404) used in KC-135 Aircraft maintenance. The solicitation will be released on 05/20/2025, with proposals accepted within 45 days of publication, and the final contract award will be based on a combination of price, past performance, and other evaluation factors. The contract will utilize a potential reverse auction process, and all contractors must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible. Technical data for the parts will become available via cFolders on DIBBS on the solicitation issue date, and interested vendors can access the full solicitation on the DIBBS website. The government intends to negotiate with a limited number of sources under FAR 6.302 authority, with the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) being Tinker AFB.
The contract is designated as a 100% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, with a 5-year base period and an estimated annual quantity of 132 units. Production units will be FOB: Destination, with inspection and acceptance occurring at origin. While the item is considered critical, it is not deemed a Critical Safety Item, and export control regulations will apply. The estimated annual quantity suggests a moderate-scale procurement, though specific contract value ranges were not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. Surge requirements do not apply to this contract, and DLA Aviation possesses complete technical data for potential vendors. Interested companies have 15 days from the notice to identify their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item, providing an opportunity for potential new entrants to the procurement process.
