DLA Aviation is issuing a pre-solicitation notice for a five-year Indefinite Quantity Contract to supply sensing elements for C130 aircraft under NSN 6340-01-434-8871. This requirement is classified under NAICS 334290, Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing, and PSC 6340, Aircraft Alarm and Signal Systems. The procurement is unrestricted with a set-aside of NONE. The government expects an estimated annual quantity of 40 units, which are subject to destination inspection and acceptance.
The government intends to solicit and negotiate with a limited number of sources under the authority of FAR 6.302, as DLA does not possess the technical data for this part. The original equipment manufacturer is Lockheed Martin, and currently approved sources are Kidde Technologies and Simmonds Precision Products. Any other interested contractors must submit a Source Approval Request package to be considered for addition as an approved source. While the government is not using FAR Part 12 policies for commercial items, interested parties may identify their capability to satisfy the requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.
Solicitation SPE4A726R0464 has an estimated issue date of March 20, 2026, and a final response deadline of April 22, 2026. The contract award decision will be based on price, past performance, and other evaluation factors, and the procurement process may include a reverse auction. All proposals received within 45 days of the publication of this synopsis will be considered by the government to determine whether a competitive procurement should be conducted. Christopher Rose serves as the point of contact for this action.
