Support Structure

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, operating through the 423rd Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base, is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturing sources for aircraft spares procurement. Specifically, they are seeking vendors capable of manufacturing part number DAA3116A381-011 (NSN 1560013399185FW), which is classified as an airframe structural component. Potential contractors must demonstrate capability in manufacturing component parts, including inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping, while also potentially managing supply chain logistics and addressing manufacturing source challenges. The government is evaluating all vendor categories including Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, 8(a) businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone Businesses, and Women-Owned Small Businesses. Interested vendors must complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package and submit comprehensive business information including company details, NAICS code, business size, and ownership classification by the September 6, 2025 deadline.

This pre-solicitation notice does not include any set-aside designations and remains open to all qualifying vendors regardless of size or ownership status. No incumbent contractors or current service providers are identified in the documentation. The estimated spares requirement is limited to 2 each (2EA) of the specified aircraft component, indicating a relatively small quantity procurement. The government has explicitly stated that this is strictly a market research effort with no guarantee of contract award and no current funding allocated for the requested information, suggesting that any eventual procurement timeline and award value remain to be determined based on the market research results.
