Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support Richmond has issued a Sources Sought notice to conduct market research for potentially adding 381 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) to an existing sole-source, long-term contract with Pratt & Whitney (CAGEs 52661/77445). These NSNs, primarily for Gas Turbines And Jet Engines, Aircraft, Prime Moving; And Components (PSC 2840), were not part of the original contract synopsis. The government seeks to determine if other companies can provide any of these items, which are currently under technical review for sole-source determination. Responses are due by April 20, 2026.
Scope of Work
The existing contract, SPE4AX-24-D-9000, covers the supply of parts for the TF33 Pacer Phoenix program, along with functions such as planning, forecasting, reliability improvements, engineering maintenance, and design control. The proposed 381 NSNs would be added to this contract via a Letter Request for Proposal (RFP) issued to Pratt & Whitney, in accordance with the originally approved Justification & Approval (J&A).
