Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, PA has issued a Solicitation for AILERONs, categorized under Airframe Structural Components (PSC 1560). This opportunity requires newly manufactured spares from government-approved sources for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customer countries. Offers from non-approved sources or for refurbished/remanufactured materials will be deemed technically unacceptable. The response deadline is May 18, 2026.
Scope of Work
This solicitation seeks the supply of AILERON components. Key requirements include:
- Provision of newly manufactured spares only; refurbished, remanufactured, or repaired materials are not acceptable.
- Offers must come from government-approved sources of supply. Distributors of approved sources must submit an authorized distributor letter.
- The solicitation is issued under EAF Authority (formerly SEPA).
- For Critical Safety Items (CSI), DFARS clause 252.209-7010 is incorporated.
- For items with Government inspection/acceptance at source, DLAD clause 52.?-9004 is incorporated.
- DFARS clause 252.242-7005 (Contractor Business Systems) is incorporated as applicable.
Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Context
This requirement is for non-CLSSA FMS spares, meaning the parts are wholly owned by FMS customer countries and will not be delivered to the DoD or entered into the DoD supply chain. Consequently, the requirement for DFARS clause 252.211-7003 "Item Unique Identification and Valuation" (IUID) has been deleted, as these assets will never be owned by the U.S. Government.
