Transmission, mechan

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation, through the 423rd Supply Chain Management Squadron at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, is seeking potential sources to manufacture transmission mechanical spare parts, specifically NSN 1680-01-141-6125RK (Part Number NF53300-01A). This is a sources sought synopsis issued for market research purposes to identify capable manufacturers who can provide new manufacture of the transmission component, including all necessary labor, materials, facilities, and equipment, as well as component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping. The government is interested in all business types, including large businesses, small businesses, small disadvantaged businesses, 8(a) certified firms, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone businesses, and women-owned small businesses. Interested vendors must demonstrate capability to furnish the complete manufacturing process and may be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, production forecasting, long-lead time parts procurement, diminishing manufacturing sources mitigation, and material shortage resolution. Potential sources must submit business information by March 24, 2026, including company name, address, point of contact, CAGE code, phone, email, web URL, business size classification, and relevant small business certifications to 423scms.guea.workflow@us.af.mil.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, and no current contractors or incumbents are identified in the available documentation. The estimated requirement is 44 units of the transmission mechanical component, with unit prices to be established at contract award; however, no specific budget range or award value is provided in this pre-solicitation notice. Sources interested in becoming approved manufacturers should be aware that they may incur nonrecurring engineering costs during the qualification process. This is classified as a new spares buy with no repair requirement, and the NAICS code 336413 applies to other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing with a size standard of 1,250 employees. Notably, no solicitation is currently available, and no funds have been allocated to support this market research effort; solicitation timing and ultimate award information remain to be determined.
