About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure a single aircraft seat with National Stock Number 7R-1680-998899408-P8. This is a commercial, off-the-shelf item that requires government source approval prior to contract award due to its flight-critical nature. Potential vendors must submit detailed technical information through the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support Source Approval Information Brochures for either spares or repair, depending on their capability. Vendors who are not currently approved sources must include comprehensive technical data demonstrating their ability to produce the item, along with a detailed proposal. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 12, 2025, with responses due by March 31, 2025, and strict requirements exist for documentation and source approval.
No specific set-aside has been designated for this procurement, and the contract appears to be open to qualified commercial vendors. The quantity requested is one (1) unit, with delivery specified as FOB Origin. While no specific award value is mentioned, the critical nature of the aircraft seat suggests potential significance in terms of technical complexity and strategic importance. Vendors should be aware that even if their source approval request is currently under evaluation, they must submit a copy of the cover letter documenting their submission. The government reserves the right to continue the award process based on fleet support needs, even if source approval cannot be processed in the standard timeframe. Drawings for the aircraft seat are not available, which underscores the importance of comprehensive technical documentation in the proposal.

Commercial item descriptions, commercial vendor catalog or price lists or commercial manuals assigned a technical manual number apply. The subject item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, as the item is flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. Only the source(s) previously approved by the Government for this item have been solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. If you are not an approved source you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in one of the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS)Source Approval Information Brochures listed below.

If your request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVSUP WSS submit with your offer a copy of the cover letter which forwarded your request for source approval. Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or document previous submission of all data required by the Source Approval Brochure will not be considered for award under this solicitation. Please note, if evaluation of a source approval request submitted hereunder cannot be processed in time and/or approval requirements preclude the ability to obtain subject items in time to meet Government requirements, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs.
