About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing the HC/MC-130 Hose Reel Assembly (NSN 1680-01-683-8772, PN 149R1050-109), a non-commercial aircraft component designed for aerial refueling operations. The hose reel assembly must meet multiple operational conditions including hose stowage with power on and off, trail extension, fueling, emergency response, and automated rewind capabilities. The government intends to award a sole source contract under FAR 6.302-1, citing only one responsible source and no other satisfactory alternative supplies, though interested manufacturers are invited to demonstrate their capability to respond to this requirement. Interested parties must submit their capability statements and expression of interest by December 25, 2025, to the designated contracting officers at the DLA/AWB Contracting Office. The evaluation will determine whether competitive procurement is feasible or whether sole source procurement to the incumbent contractor remains the most appropriate approach.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and currently identifies Eaton Industrial Corporation, now operating as Mission Systems Davenport Inc. (Cage 72429), as the incumbent designer and manufacturer of the hose reel assembly. The incumbent possesses exclusive manufacturing data and technical documentation that has not been purchased by the government and is not available for competitive distribution. No specific contract value, quantity requirements, or production timeline are disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, which serves solely as an informational document to solicit capability statements from alternative sources before the government proceeds with sole source procurement authority.
