About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure aircraft engine seals for the F100 engine, specifically a specialized seal with a 7.8-degree radius bend used in the 3rd Stage Turbine blade area to minimize compressed air loss. The pre-solicitation notice (RFP #SPRTA1-25-R-0311) indicates a firm fixed price contract will be awarded, with electronic solicitation documents available on sam.gov. Interested offerors must be "EXPORT CONTROLLED" certified to receive and view associated drawings, and all proposals submitted within 45 days of publication will be considered. The government will use a non-competitive procurement approach under FAR 6.302 authority, with an anticipated solicitation release date of June 6, 2025, and a closing/response date of July 10, 2025. Questions about the solicitation can be directed to Keith Russ via email.

The contract is set aside as a 100% small business opportunity, with three qualified sources already identified: Beacon Industries, TWIGG Corporation, and RTX Corporation/Pratt Whitney. The procurement involves purchasing between 345 and 2,067 units, with a baseline expected quantity of 1,374 seals, to be delivered on or before November 30, 2025. The contract includes multiple line items covering first article test reports, test plans, and production units, with the items classified as a Critical Safety Item (CSI). The procurement involves aircraft engine seals measuring 9.0 inches long, 1.0 inches wide, and 2.0 inches high, weighing 1.0 pound each and manufactured from nickel alloy. The government's contract obligation remains contingent on the availability of appropriated funds, with an estimated award date approximately 60 calendar days after the solicitation closing date.
