About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure shroud compressor components for F-100 engines through RFP SPRTA1-25-R-0052. These spare parts are nickel alloy segments that align and support 5th stage variable vanes in gas turbine engines, with specific dimensions of 10" length, 2" width, 2" height, and 2 pounds weight. The procurement requires qualified sources only, with export control requirements and potential Unique Item Identification (UID) marking for items exceeding $5,000 unit price. First Article Contractor Testing is mandatory for all approved sources other than original equipment manufacturer Pratt & Whitney. The pre-solicitation notice was issued October 10, 2025, with responses due by October 25, 2025, and delivery required beginning September 30, 2028.
This acquisition will be designated as a Small Business Set-Aside despite having four currently qualified large contractors: Paramount Machine Company (previous award winner), RTX Corporation, Union Machine Co of Lynn, and Beacon Industries. The previous contract SPRTA1-25-C-0011 was awarded to Paramount Machine Company on December 3, 2024, for 120 units. The current procurement involves multiple line items totaling approximately 81 units, with the primary line item requiring 77 units at a rate of 77 per month beginning September 2028. The technology involved has military applications with undetermined foreign participation restrictions, and the procurement follows competitive procedures allowing all responsible sources to submit proposals.

Nothing in this notice contradicts other restrictions, identified in the synopsis notice or solicitation, regarding eligible sources (e.g., if this is a small business set aside, foreign sources may not participate as potential prime contractors but could, if otherwise eligible, participate as subcontractors).
Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services. However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.
Government's obligation under this contract is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer
Electronic procedures will be used for this solicitation. Hardcopies of the solicitation will not be sent from this office. The solicitation will be available for download only at Sam.Gov.

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement.
Note: While price will be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final contract award decision may be based upon a combination of price and past performance factors as detailed in the solicitation.
Note: An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from offerors or potential offerors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The purpose of the Ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the program director or contracting officer, but to communicate contractor concerns, issues, disagreements and recommendations to the appropriate government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals or in the source selection process. Interested parties are invited to call the Ombudsman at 385-591-1672. DO NOT CALL THIS NUMBER FOR SOLICITATION REQUESTS.
