Production of C-5 Mechanical Actuators; NSN 1680-01-181-9991UC

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, located at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, is soliciting proposals for the production of mechanical actuators (NSN 1680-01-181-9991UC, P/N: 4C95009-153D) for C-5 Aircraft to support the USAF's 409th SCMS. This solicitation (SPRWA1-26-R-0004) is for a firm-fixed price requirements contract structured with four ordering periods containing baseline equipment quantities (BEQs) of 43, 14, 12, and 14 units respectively. The government intends to conduct a sole-source negotiation in accordance with FAR 6.302-1, meaning it plans to work with a single contractor rather than conducting a competitive procurement. The solicitation specifically indicates that drawings and data are not available from the procuring activity, and proposals will be evaluated on those received prior to the March 31, 2026 closing date. The government has determined that commercial item acquisition policies under FAR Part 12 are not applicable to this procurement.

This is a non-set-aside procurement with Ontic Engineering (CAGE 45934) identified as the intended sole-source contractor. While the solicitation remains open to interested parties who can demonstrate capability to respond before the deadline, the government's stated intent is to negotiate exclusively with Ontic Engineering. The place of performance is designated as Chatsworth, Los Angeles, California. The work falls under NAICS category 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category 1680 (Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components). Specific award values or detailed budget ranges are not disclosed in this synopsis; however, the four-period contract structure suggests a multi-year requirement with varying production demands across the ordering periods.
