Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA has issued a solicitation for Aircraft Equipment (PSC 1680 - Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories And Components). This requirement, issued under Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities (EAF), mandates Government source approval and the provision of newly manufactured spares only. Proposals are due by April 9, 2026, at 6:00 PM ET.
Scope of Work
This opportunity is for the supply of newly manufactured aircraft equipment and spares. Refurbished, remanufactured, or repaired materials will not be accepted.
