The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure Wire Rope Assemblies (NSN: 4010-013230385) for TRI-TAC end items through a firm fixed price Request for Proposal. The original equipment manufacturer and approved source is BREEZE-EASTERN, LLC (CAGE 08484), part number SP4481-7. Award decisions will be based on a combination of price, past performance, and other evaluation factors as described in the solicitation. The solicitation will be issued on or about March 18, 2026, and proposals must be received within forty-five days of publication to be considered by the Government. Interested parties may identify their capability to respond, though this pre-solicitation notice is not a request for competitive proposals but rather an opportunity for alternative sources to demonstrate their interest and capability.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is being conducted under 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), which permits other than full and open competition with the approved source. The contract requires delivery of 53 units within 53 days after receipt of order (ARO), with both FOB point and inspection/acceptance occurring at origin. While no award value is specified in this pre-solicitation notice, offerors must provide drawings and design data covering the exact product cited to be considered for evaluation. The Government reserves sole discretion to determine whether to conduct a competitive procurement based on responses received, and any information submitted will primarily be used to evaluate whether competition is warranted.
