About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Construction and Equipment has issued a Sources Sought Notice to conduct market research for Aircraft Escape Slides under NSN 4240-01-075-6640, specifically Part Number 16D22231-103. The agency is exploring the possibility of establishing a Long-Term Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Contract for these safety and rescue equipment items, which are currently sole sourced to Air Cruisers Company, LLC. DLA is seeking to identify potential vendors and understand market capabilities for manufacturing and supplying these aircraft escape slides. The government anticipates a 250-day delivery timeline and is interested in Economic Price Adjustment mechanisms tied to the Producer Price Index for Aircraft Parts and Equipment Manufacturing. Interested contractors must submit completed Market Survey responses no later than 3:00 PM EDT on October 16, 2025, and should contact Andrew Rose at andrew.c.rose@dla.mil prior to 30 days from the post date for any inquiries.
This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and represents a full and open competition research effort. The current approved source and likely incumbent contractor is Air Cruisers Company, LLC (CAGE Code 70167), which has been supplying the specific part number under the existing sole source arrangement. The government is seeking to procure 31 units of the aircraft escape slides, though the market research may inform future procurement quantities under a long-term contract structure. While no specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in this Sources Sought Notice, the government emphasizes that this is purely a market research effort with no financial commitment, and any actual solicitation would be separately announced on SAM.gov. The procurement falls under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code 4240 (Safety and Rescue Equipment).
