Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Oklahoma City is conducting a Sources Sought for market research to identify potential sources for the Spares Procurement of "VALVE, GATE" (NSN: 4820-00-780-3195, P/N: 10-2446-3) for the U.S. Air Force. This initiative aims to determine if the requirement can be competitively procured or set aside for small businesses. Responses are requested by July 26, 2025.
Scope of Work
This requirement involves the procurement and manufacture of the specified valve, including component parts, inspection, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping.

Sources may be responsible for nonrecurring engineering (NRE) costs. The estimated spares requirement is 21 units, and this is a new spares buy, not a repair requirement.
