Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA has issued a Solicitation for DME Interrogator SE (Product Service Code 5826 - Radio Navigation Equipment, Airborne). This opportunity requires FAA-Certified parts from government-approved sources and newly manufactured spares only. Proposals are due April 13, 2026.
Scope of Work & Key Requirements
This solicitation is for the procurement of DME Interrogator SE. Key requirements include:
- FAA-Certified Parts: Only suppliers providing FAA-Certified parts with an FAA Form 8130-3 Airworthy Approval Tag are eligible.
- Approved Sources: Offers from sources not government-approved will be deemed technically unacceptable. Distributors of approved sources must submit an authorized distributor letter.
- New Material Only: Only newly manufactured spares are acceptable; refurbished, remanufactured, or repaired material will not be considered.
- Critical Safety Items (CSI): DFARS clause 252.209-7010, Identification of Critical Safety Items, is incorporated by reference.
- Government Inspection: For items with Government inspection and acceptance at the source, DLAD clause 52.?-9004, Product Verification Testing, applies.
- FMS Specifics: This solicitation is issued under EAF Authority (formerly SEPA). It involves non-CLSSA Foreign Military Sales (FMS) spares requirements, meaning the parts are for FMS customer countries, not the DoD supply chain. Consequently, the DFARS clause 252.211-7003 "Item Unique Identification and Valuation" is deleted as these assets are owned by FMS customers and will not be delivered to DoD.
