Meggitt Aircraft Braking System (MABS) Multiple NSN Long Term Contract
Meggitt Aircraft Braking System (MABS) Multiple NSN Long Term Contract
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research through this Request for Information and Sources Sought notice to identify companies capable of manufacturing or obtaining 429 specific consumable and Depot Level Reparable spare parts. This acquisition, identified by solicitation number SPE4A626R0161, aims to establish a strategic long-term contract to support aircraft wheel and brake systems. The agency intends to renew existing contracts with Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (MABS), the current sole-source manufacturer for the items. Because the government does not possess the technical data for these parts, the procurement is planned under other than full and open competition procedures for only one responsible source.
The proposed contract includes a five-year base period and one five-year option period, resulting in a potential 10-year period of performance. Performance will take place in Richmond, Virginia, under NAICS 336413 for Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing and PSC 1630 for AIRCRAFT WHEEL AND BRAKE SYSTEMS. The initial population of parts is detailed in two spreadsheet attachments updated as of May 12, 2026. While the agency intends to contract with MABS CAGE codes 0B9R9, 21849, and K1037, other interested parties may submit capability statements and company information to demonstrate their ability to satisfy the requirements or their intent to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR).
Responses to this notice are due by May 18, 2026. Submissions must address the respondent’s prior experience manufacturing the listed parts, their willingness to accept a 10-year fixed-price contract, and the timeline for any necessary SAR applications. The government will use the gathered information to determine if a competitive procurement is feasible. This announcement is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or a commitment to award a contract.
