About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing structural support components, identified under National Stock Number (NSN) 1560-01-145-3844. This pre-solicitation notice seeks information from parties with the resources and expertise to support new manufacture of this item, including all associated labor, materials, facilities, and equipment. Potential contractors must demonstrate capability to manage the complete manufacturing process encompassing component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, along with supply chain management, logistics planning, and resolution of diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortage issues. The government will evaluate submitted capability information to assess market capacity to provide services at the required scope and scale, secure necessary corporate financial and human capital resources, and implement effective project management plans that ensure compliance with program schedules and cost containment objectives. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 23, 2025, with a response deadline of December 29, 2025; however, submission of capability information is purely voluntary and does not constitute a formal request for proposals, with the government assuming no financial responsibility for costs incurred.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and represents market research for future procurement rather than a current solicitation. The incumbent manufacturer is Hydraflow, currently producing the item under part number SB109-3, though Technical Orders and Qualification Requirements are not yet available. The estimated annual procurement quantity is 80 units, with the applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned as 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. This pre-solicitation notice is intended to identify vendors capable of competing on the next buy cycle rather than the current procurement action, allowing the government to evaluate potential market sources and determine the optimal procurement methodology based on identified capabilities and available sources.
