Sling, aircraft main

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support office in Philadelphia is seeking to procure six aircraft main slings (NSN 0Q-1730-017075798-QH) for repair purposes. This pre-solicitation notice indicates the agency's intent to solicit competitive proposals from multiple sources, with responsible parties able to express interest and capability to respond through proposals, quotations, or capability statements. While this notice is not itself a request for competitive proposals, all submissions received within 45 days of publication (or 30 days if an award is issued under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement) will be considered by the Government. The Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with competitive procurement based on responses received. The primary evaluation criterion will be determining whether sufficient responsible sources exist to conduct a competitive procurement. The deadline for interested parties to submit responses is April 21, 2026.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is being competitively solicited to current known sources including Avioss LLC (7V3W5) and Industrial Automation Inc (053H3). The contract calls for repair of six units of SLING, AIRCRAFT MAIN with part number 4158AS0482-1 (NIIN 017075798), with delivery on a free-on-board (FOB) origin basis. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The procurement falls under PSC category 1730 (Aircraft Ground Servicing Equipment), indicating it is a military-specific equipment requirement. The relatively short timeline between the posting date of March 6, 2026, and the response deadline of April 21, 2026, provides interested contractors approximately six weeks to prepare and submit their capabilities documentation.
