About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, operating through DLA Weapons Support in Richmond, has issued a Sources Sought Notice for 20 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) representing various aircraft components for the V-22 program. The notice seeks to determine whether companies other than the current sole-source provider can manufacture or legitimately obtain these items, which include wiring harnesses, cable assemblies, brackets, tube assemblies, fasteners, and other structural and electrical components. Currently, Bell Textron Inc. (CAGE Code 97499) holds approval as the sole source for these items. To be considered as an approved alternative source, companies must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package that demonstrates their product meets or exceeds the quality and specifications of the currently approved Bell components. Importantly, this is a market research notice and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract, and no government funds are available to support response preparation. The deadline for interested parties to inquire about the Source Approval Request process is February 16, 2026, and all SAR submissions must be made through the DoDSafe secure system via email to dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil with the subject line "Request a SAR Drop Off."
This opportunity carries no specific set-aside designation for small businesses or other categories. Bell Textron Inc. remains the incumbent and currently approved source for all 20 NSNs listed in the procurement. The notice does not disclose anticipated award values, contract duration, or procurement quantities, as this is a pre-solicitation market research phase rather than a formal solicitation. The parts list encompasses diverse Federal Supply Classes ranging from 1560 to 6150, reflecting multiple aircraft component categories critical to V-22 assembly and maintenance operations. Organizations interested in challenging Bell's sole-source status must demonstrate manufacturing capability and quality equivalency or superiority through the formal SAR program, which represents the government's primary mechanism for identifying and qualifying alternative suppliers for these specialized aircraft components.
