Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Warner Robins, GA is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers for the C-5 Hydraulic Motor (NSN 165004866297) and the C-5 Screw Drive Motor (NSN 1650000600548). The government intends to award a sole source contract to Eaton Aerospace LLC due to proprietary data. Interested parties must identify their capabilities by June 26, 2026.
Scope of Work
This request seeks sources for two critical components used on the C-5 Galaxy military transport aircraft:
- C-5 Hydraulic Motor (Power Transfer Unit): Two hydraulic motors connected, enabling power transfer between hydraulic systems (No.1 & No.2, No.2 & No.3, No.3 & No.4) to optimize hydraulic power or pressurize systems during engine/pump failure.
- C-5 Screw Drive Motor: Used on the C-5 Pitch Trim Actuator, a flight safety component. It consists of a hydraulic valve manifold and motor, driving a screw through a gear train, with a hydraulic brake and directional control valve.
Impediment to Competition
The original equipment manufacturer, Eaton Aerospace LLC (Cage Code: 62983), maintains proprietary manufacturing data for these items. The Government does not possess the necessary manufacturing data packages to release to potential vendors. These are not commercial items, and no commercial product sheets or support manuals are available. Consequently, Eaton Aerospace LLC is the only known source with the required technical data and capabilities.
