About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a procurement for a Release, Canopy, Parachute assembly identified by NSN 1670-006759008. This Air Force-designated critical safety item will be procured through a firm-fixed price request for proposal (RFP) for direct delivery to the government.

The solicitation will be available on the Defense Logistics Agency's DIBBS portal approximately on February 11, 2026, with copies becoming available 15 days after the pre-solicitation notice is published on SAM.gov.

The current approved source is Mission Systems Davenport Inc. (CAGE code 99251) for part number 015-11038-1, and the estimated quantity required is 371 units with no option quantities included. Alternate offers that meet evaluation criteria will be considered for future procurements if approved through the engineering source approval process, though they cannot be considered for the current award due to the criticality and evaluation timeline required. Proposals are due by February 27, 2026, and all suppliers must comply with higher-level quality requirements including SAE AS9100 certification for both manufacturers and non-manufacturers. Delivery will be FOB origin with government inspection and acceptance at origin.
