SPRRA1-25-q-0016, pump, rotary

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring 50 units of rotary pumps (NSN 4320-01-171-0517, Part Number 7-113100102-3) specifically designed for the AH-64 Apache helicopter system through solicitation SPRRA1-25-Q-0016. This procurement is structured as a restricted competition limited to three approved sources: Parker-Hannifin Corporation, Meggitt Defense Systems, Inc., and The Boeing Company, operating under a firm fixed-price contract arrangement. The contract requires comprehensive first article testing and endurance testing to ensure compliance with technical specifications, with contractors needing to provide detailed cost and pricing data along with adherence to federal regulations including item unique identification and telecommunications equipment restrictions. The government will evaluate proposals using the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, awarding the contract to the technically compliant offeror with the lowest overall price. The original solicitation was posted on April 23, 2025, with the response deadline subsequently extended twice through amendments, ultimately establishing July 23, 2025, at 5:30 PM as the final submission deadline, and all proposals must remain valid for a minimum of 180 days.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations, making it open to all qualified large and small businesses within the approved source list. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the procurement represents a one-time buy for 50 pump units with delivery scheduled to commence 540 days after contract award at a rate of 50 units per month. The place of performance is Tracy, California, where all 50 units will be delivered to a designated distribution warehouse facility. The contract includes stringent packaging, marking, and preservation requirements, and contractors must demonstrate manufacturing capabilities through the comprehensive First Article Test process, though a waiver worksheet suggests some flexibility in testing requirements based on previous production history. The procurement timeline reflects the complex nature of aerospace components, with the extended lead time accommodating the rigorous testing and quality assurance processes required for military aviation applications.
