Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Richmond, VA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) / Sources Sought Notice to identify potential alternative manufacturers for Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (MABS) sole-source parts.

Scope of Work
DLA intends to issue a solicitation for consumable and Depot Level Reparable (DLR) spare part support for items currently sole-sourced to MABS (CAGEs 0B9R9, 21849, K1037).
