Quick Summary
This notice provides Questions and Answers related to the DRAFT Request for Proposal (RFP) for Landing Gear Collaborative Supply Chain Integration II (LG-CSCI2). The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Ogden, UT, intends to establish a single-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for aircraft landing gear components. This is a 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside. The final RFP is anticipated to be issued on November 25, 2026, with proposals due the same day.
Purpose & Scope
The LG-CSCI2 program aims to procure landing gear spares, covering "Other Aircraft Part and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing." The contract will fulfill USAF and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements, encompassing engineering oversight, end-to-end supply chain management, quality oversight, and procurement of DLA consumables and USAF Depot Level Reparable parts. Key objectives include achieving 95% On-Time Delivery (OTD) for DLA consumables and 90% OTD for USAF parts, optimizing Production Lead Times (PLTs), and improving the manufacturing base. Contractors are responsible for ensuring forging die readiness, with a two-year phase-in period for management, and are not expected to pre-fund die refurbishment.
Contract Details

- Period of Performance: 5-year base period with a single 5-year option period, totaling up to 10 years.
- Set-Aside: 100% Total Small Business Set-Aside (NAICS 336413)
- Minimum Guarantee: $10,000,000 during the base period.
- Order Limits: $1,000 minimum, $10,000,000 maximum per single order.

Key Requirements & Evaluation
Proposals must be submitted in four volumes: Technical, Price, Past Performance, and Contract Documentation. The Technical volume requires detailed plans for Engineering (including AS9100 certification), Program Management, and Order Fulfillment. The Price volume must include a Total Evaluated Price (TEP) worksheet, Annual Firm Fixed Prices (FFPs), and Planned Lot Quantities (PLTs). For Past Performance, offerors may submit a maximum of 10 recent and relevant contracts. A comprehensive Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) plan, including Continuity of Operations (COOP) and Foreign Influence plans, is also required.
Evaluation will follow a Tradeoff Source Selection Process, with factors weighted in descending order of importance: Technical, Price, and Past Performance. An "Unacceptable" rating in either Technical or Technical Risk will render a proposal un-awardable. The Government intends to award without discussions.
