Seal, Air, Aircraft

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Oklahoma City is soliciting quotations for aircraft air seals, specifically seeking 10 units of a Critical Safety Item identified as "Seal, Air, Aircraft" with National Stock Number 2840-00-327-5429. The procurement covers nickel alloy air seals manufactured to part number 52661 (alternate part number 4020674), with a quantity range of minimum 1 unit to maximum 15 units, all requiring new manufactured materials under a firm fixed price contract. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with rigorous quality standards including ISO 9001-2015 certification, Buy American Act provisions, and unique item identification requirements, while also meeting comprehensive Manufacturing Qualification Requirements for Propulsion Critical Safety Items. The solicitation was issued on July 9, 2025, with quotations due by August 8, 2025, and requires delivery within 550 calendar days after receipt of order. Evaluation will focus on technical compliance with the stringent propulsion component manufacturing standards and quality assurance requirements established by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the solicitation documents. While specific award values are not disclosed, the relatively small quantity of 10 units suggests this is a specialized, high-value component procurement typical of aircraft engine parts manufacturing. The items must be delivered to DLA Distribution Depot at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, with inspection and acceptance to be completed at the point of origin. The 550-calendar-day delivery timeline reflects the complex manufacturing processes required for these critical aviation safety components. Packaging must comply with military standards MIL-STD-129 and MIL-STD-2073-1, with specific container dimensions of 10.5" x 10.5" x 4.0" and strict wood packaging material treatment requirements to prevent invasive species transmission.
