Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a presolicitation for the procurement of 101 sole source National Stock Numbers (NSNs) for F-18 Weapon Systems. This effort is intended as a firm fixed-price purchase primarily from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), DBA Boeing Company (CAGE 0PXV4), under Contract Number SPE4A1-25-G-0004. However, the Government is actively seeking responses from non-OEM sources and surplus dealers to identify alternative suppliers. Responses are due by April 27, 2026.
Scope of Work
This procurement covers specific F-18 aircraft components identified by 101 sole source NSNs. The award will be a firm fixed-price purchase. Any NSNs found to have another qualified source will be removed from the sole source award before finalization. The attached SYNOPSIS_NIIN_LIST.xlsx provides a detailed list of these NSNs, including their Federal Supply Classes (FSCs), supply chain information, nomenclature, and AMPL Part Numbers, which is crucial for bidders to identify specific components.
