Pin, shoulder, headless

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting competitive quotes for 1,043 units of headless shoulder pins (NSN 5315000108268) through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). This hardware procurement falls under the fabricated wire product manufacturing category and is open to all responsible sources, with quotes required to be submitted electronically. The solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations, allowing unrestricted competition among qualified vendors. The evaluation criteria and specific technical specifications will be available through the RFQ link provided in the notice, though detailed drawings and specifications are not separately available as hard copies. The critical deadline for quote submission is December 29, 2025, providing potential bidders with eight days from the posting date of December 21, 2025 to prepare and submit their responses.

Two approved sources have been identified with the same NSN reference codes (45934 99-4675 and 99167 99-4675), though this does not restrict other qualified vendors from competing. The procured items must be delivered to DLA Distribution Cherry Point within 116 days from the order date, establishing the performance timeline for the successful contractor. This is a relatively small quantity procurement of standard hardware items with no specified budget range provided in the solicitation notice. The delivery requirement to a specific DLA distribution facility indicates these pins support military aviation operations and inventory management. Interested contractors should access the complete RFQ details electronically to review all technical requirements, pricing instructions, and submission procedures before the December 29 deadline.
