About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure aircraft trailing edge components for the B-1B aircraft through Request for Proposal SPRTA1-26-R-0170. The trailing edge components are structural airfoil parts constructed of metal bonded honeycomb measuring 80 inches long by 14 inches wide by 45 inches tall and weighing approximately 100 pounds each. Prospective contractors must be approved by the design control activity, The Boeing Company (CAGE 43999), at the time of award, and all responsible sources, including foreign-owned firms, may submit proposals following appropriate inquiries regarding export control and design data rights. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on February 2, 2026, with a closing date of February 17, 2026, allowing interested contractors approximately 15 days to prepare questions or clarifications before the formal solicitation is issued. The government does not own the manufacturing data or rights, and interested firms are encouraged to contact The Boeing Company to inquire about obtaining necessary data or licensing rights for production.

This procurement includes no set-aside designation and has no prior buy history. The contract requires delivery of 32 units of the trailing edge component to location SW3211 on or before January 20, 2027, along with one first article sample, a first article test report, and a certificate of compliance, all due to their respective locations by July 20, 2026. The quantity range is anticipated between 8 and 48 units, providing flexibility for future requirements within the contract period. Unique Identification (UID) requirements will apply to all deliverables, and contractors should note that design control approval from Boeing and compliance with all mandatory language requirements regarding data ownership and foreign ownership restrictions are essential for contract award eligibility.
