The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting quotations for turbine assemblies (NSN 2835-01-727-7542 YP) used in F-16 aircraft engines. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) number SPRHA1-26-Q-0496 was issued on March 27, 2026, with quotations due by April 27, 2026. Offerors must comply with ISO 9001-2015 quality standards, provide supply chain traceability documentation, and implement unique item identification systems. The government will evaluate quotations equally based on pricing and delivery time, applying a $1,200 cost factor for first article testing. Prospective vendors must understand that qualification requirements are mandatory, including submission of manufacturing compliance data to 419 SCMS GUEA, approval of a qualification test plan, and provision of a pre-contract award qualification article at the offeror's expense, with an estimated qualification cost of $5,900 and a 90-day completion timeframe.

This procurement is not a small business set-aside. Two approved manufacturers have been identified: Renaissance Services Inc.

Both deliveries are to Hill Air Force Base, with production articles also supporting delivery to DLA Distribution Depot Hill. The contract will be structured as firm fixed price with F.O.B. Origin shipping terms, inspection at origin for production articles, and acceptance at destination for the first article. Early and partial deliveries are acceptable without cost increases, and quotations must remain firm for 120 days from submission.
