Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA has issued a Presolicitation notice for RECEIVER-TRANSMITTE (NSN 7R-5821-014178763-FX, QTY 8 EA). This is an intent to award a sole-source contract under FAR 6.302-1 due to the item's flight-critical nature and the requirement for engineering source approval.
