The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Ogden, UT, on behalf of DLA Weapons Support, has issued a Combined Request for Information (RFI) and Synopsis for Gearbox (NSN: 2835-01-456-6510, P/N: 68-520059-222 or 367730-2-1).

This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) and the Government does not intend to contract based on this request. Responses are due by February 28, 2026.
Scope of Requirement
The requirement is for three (3) Gearboxes, identified by NSN 2835-01-456-6510 and specific part numbers from Boeing or Honeywell.
