About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturing sources for a Fuselage Section (NSN: 1560-01-585-2854, Part Number: 7-311111020-30) in support of the Apache weapon system. This Sources Sought Synopsis is issued under Federal Acquisition Regulation 6.302-1(a)(1) and indicates that the Government currently recognizes only one responsible source due to data rights restrictions and the uneconomical nature of reverse engineering. The applicable NAICS code is 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Interested firms, including 8(a) concerns, small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned businesses, HUBZone businesses, and Women-Owned small businesses, are encouraged to identify themselves and seek source approval through the Army's Aviation and Missile Command (AvMC) website at https://www.avmc.army.mil/Directorates/SRD/TechDataMgmt. All potential contractors must meet prequalification requirements and demonstrate the capability to successfully perform in accordance with special requirements and the terms and conditions of future solicitations. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on April 16, 2026, with an initial response deadline of April 21, 2026, though this is a market research notice rather than an active solicitation.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation, and no information regarding potential incumbents or current contractors is provided in this market research notice. The notice does not disclose an estimated contract award value or budget range, nor does it specify quantities of parts required or implementation timelines. The primary objective at this stage is to determine whether future competitive awards or small business set-asides are feasible. Firms wishing to be considered as potential sources must complete the prequalification process and register through the appropriate Army channels. Until a formal solicitation is issued, contractors should not submit proposals but rather focus on establishing their qualification and source approval status through the designated procurement channels.
