Piston, landing gear, in repair/modification of

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure 9 landing gear pistons (Part Number 14-40605-9) through a pre-solicitation notice for a repair delivery order. The contract requires manufacturers to produce, test, and inspect the articles according to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications from CAGE 76823, with the latest drawings and revisions. Potential suppliers must submit comprehensive documentation, including traceability supporting materials and cost data sheets, to be considered for award. Offers from sources other than the OEM/manufacturer must provide detailed supplier documentation, such as Certificates of Conformance and OEM approved source designations. The solicitation requires submission of all required information by March 31, 2025, with potential suppliers needing to follow the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval brochure guidelines for evaluation.

The pre-solicitation does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. Alternate order quantities are being considered, including options for 2, 5, 8, and 10 units, providing flexibility in potential contract award. The procurement is categorized under PSC 1620 for Aircraft Landing Gear Components, suggesting a specialized technical requirement. Vendors must be prepared to validate item interchangeability and applicability, especially if the original part has been superseded. The government will accept early deliveries at no additional cost, with the items to be shipped without the National Stock Number (NSN). While no specific award value is mentioned, the technical complexity and source approval requirements indicate this is a precise, potentially high-value technical procurement focused on maintaining military aircraft landing gear infrastructure.
