Ring, retaining

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure 61 retaining rings under NSN 5325016283776 through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. This procurement falls under the Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing industry category and involves hardware components classified under PSC 53 for Hardware and Abrasives. The solicitation specifies an approved source (55820 4506532) for this procurement, indicating a potential restricted competition or qualified supplier requirement. All quotes must be submitted electronically, as hard copies are not available, and no specifications, plans, or drawings will be provided beyond what is contained in the solicitation. The response deadline is September 19, 2025, giving potential vendors eight days from the posting date to prepare and submit their quotes.

This opportunity does not utilize any small business set-aside designations, making it open to all responsible sources that can meet the requirements. The procurement requires delivery to DLA Distribution Cherry Point within 171 days after delivery order (ADO), establishing both the performance location and delivery timeline for successful vendors. The solicitation operates under an indefinite delivery structure based on the "days ADO" terminology, suggesting this may be part of a broader supply agreement rather than a one-time purchase. No budget range or estimated contract value has been disclosed in the notice, requiring interested vendors to develop pricing based solely on the quantity requirement of 61 units. The approved source designation suggests there may be an incumbent supplier or preferred vendor already established for this particular national stock number.
