Transformer, power

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting quotes under RFQ SPE4A527Q0041 for four power transformers (NSN 5950-01-257-9615, line item 0001), with quotes due October 20, 2026 through DIBBS. No set-aside is used, and the procurement is not sole-source.

The item is a commercial item designated a critical application item, procured on a firm fixed-price basis with per-unit pricing for all four units. Delivery is due 164 days after order, with FOB Origin shipping terms and inspection and acceptance at destination. The attachment summary identifies two approved sources: CAGE 0SML3 (Aero International, LLC) and CAGE 72914 (Grimes Aerospace Company), both part number 55-1687-1. Quoters must provide traceability documentation, including invoices from approved sources or authorized dealer/distributor agreements. The solicitation incorporates the unused former government surplus property representation (Section C04), which permits offering surplus material if the offeror produces compliance documentation within 24 hours of a contracting officer request.

Evaluation is best value, with cost/price approximately equal to non-price factors: item criticality, current inventory status, delivery history, supply source concerns, and industrial base benefits. Past performance is assessed primarily through SPRS assessments. Payment runs through Wide Area Workflow, using invoice and receiving report document types. The PSC is 5950, Coils and Transformers.
