The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation has issued a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of 52 air seals for F100 aircraft engines under solicitation number SPRTA1-25-R-0424. The seals must meet specific dimensional requirements (20.50" length, 20.50" width, 6.50" height, 13.20 lbs weight) and be manufactured from PWA 1016 Nickel Alloy material. This procurement is being conducted as a sole-source acquisition under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) authority, which allows for limited source selection when only one qualified supplier exists. The estimated solicitation issue date is August 4, 2025, with a closing date of September 3, 2025, and questions or concerns may be directed to the Ombudsman at (405) 734-8241. The contracting buyer Melencio Linga can be reached at melencio.linga@us.af.mil for additional information.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and identifies RTX Corporation as the sole qualified source, having previously been awarded a contract on May 14, 2024 under contract SPE4A121G0001. The procurement requires delivery of all 52 units by May 31, 2026, with the destination specified as SW3211 at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma. The contract award is anticipated within 60 days of notice issuance, and the total line-item quantity includes 52 units plus 1 LT with minimum and maximum quantity specifications. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336412 for Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing and PSC code 2840 for Gas Turbines and Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving, and Components. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the synopsis, the specialized nature of the nickel alloy aircraft engine seals and the sole-source designation suggest this is a high-value precision manufacturing requirement.
