Safety shield

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure two units of safety shields under NSN 1420010942571 through a Request for Quote (RFQ) process. The procurement specifies an approved source of K4342 642AS1241-99 for these safety shield components, which fall under the guided missile and space vehicle propulsion unit manufacturing category. All responsible sources are eligible to submit quotes for consideration, with submissions required to be made electronically through the provided link. The solicitation was posted on August 18, 2025, with quotes due by August 26, 2025, providing vendors with an eight-day response window. No specifications, plans, or drawings are available for this procurement, and hard copies of the solicitation will not be provided.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it available to all qualified contractors regardless of size or socioeconomic status. The contract requires delivery of two units to the Yokosuka Repair and Supply Facility within 20 days after date of order (ADO). While specific award values are not disclosed in the notice, the procurement involves a limited quantity of specialized safety equipment for what appears to be military or defense-related applications. The place of performance for delivery is clearly specified as the Yokosuka facility, which suggests this procurement supports operations in Japan. The streamlined RFQ process and short delivery timeline indicate this may be a time-sensitive requirement for operational readiness or maintenance purposes.
