PANEL, STRUCTURAL, AIRCRAFT / NSN 1560-01-646-5441 / B-52 AIRCRAFT
DLA Aviation plans a 100% small business set-aside Indefinite Quantity Contract for NSN 1560-01-646-5441, an aircraft structural panel, with a 5-year base period and estimated annual quantity of 40 each, FOB destination with inspection/acceptance at origin. The item is critical but not a Critical Safety Item; export control applies, surge does not, and the Government intends to solicit/negotiate with only one or a limited number of sources under FAR 6.302. The OEM is Boeing (p/n 8-7849-11), approved sources include H&R Parts, Aero Components, Infinity Fabrication, Malones CNC Machining, and DJ Engineering, and other manufacturers would need an approved Source Approval Request because DLA Aviation lacks complete technical data. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals, but the solicitation may include a Reverse Auction via Procurex, award may be based on price, past performance, and other factors, and SAM registration is required. The estimated solicitation issue date is 11/16/2026, with the RFP available via DIBBS on that date and no paper copies available.
