Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support – Ogden is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for KC-46 Landing Gear Spares. The RFI seeks industry feedback to develop a 10-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for SCMS-managed KC-46 Landing Gear National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs). Responses are due by February 27, 2026.
Scope of RFI
This RFI aims to gather information to shape the support strategy for KC-46 landing gear end items and field-level subcomponents. The KC-46 aircraft, a derivative of the Boeing 767-2C, requires ongoing procurement support for spares to ensure readiness. Initial market research indicates Boeing is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and the U.S. Government lacks complete, unrestricted technical data packages. An attached KC-46 Landing Gear Spare Parts List.xlsx provides a suggested list of NIINs, categorized into Main Landing Gear and Nose Landing Gear components, which may be modified prior to formal solicitation.
Key Questions for Industry
The DLA is requesting feedback on several critical areas:
- Company Information: Business details, CAGE Code, UEI, business size, and NAICS code.
- Manufacturing & Qualification: Identification of proprietary parts, qualification status for listed components.
- Production Lead Time: Estimated lead times per part, manufacturing capacity, and constraints.
- Pricing Strategy: Willingness to provide fixed pricing for up to 5 years, factors influencing pricing, commercial pricing support, quantity-based price breaks, and views on performance incentives.
- Risk Mitigation: Potential risks in developing the strategy, concerns with a 10-year contract term (5-year base + 5-year option), and sufficiency of a 90-day proposal turnaround time.
- Diminishing Sources (767-300 Gear): Health of the manufacturing base for 767-300 landing gear parts and anticipated raw material shortages.
- General Recommendations: Any industry recommendations for the acquisition strategy.
Submission Details
Responses to this RFI must be submitted via email to the Contracting Officer, Justin Rogers (justin.c.rogers@dla.mil), by February 27, 2026. This is a Request for Information only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment by the Government.
