Aircraft Canopy Transparency Supply

The contract calls for the supply of one base and up to thirty-two option aircraft canopy transparencies, all of which must meet strict optical clarity standards to ensure unrestricted visibility for pilots. Each transparency must be engineered for high impact resistance, specifically to withstand bird-strike events without compromising structural integrity or visual performance. The transparencies are required to include specialized coatings that enhance durability, reduce glare, and provide protection against environmental degradation, all while maintaining precise optical specifications throughout the operational lifecycle. The procurement is structured as a subcontract under the NAICS code 326299, indicating it falls within other plastic product manufacturing, and the place of performance is designated as Coffeyville, Oklahoma, with a zip code of 73145. The solicitation is open for responses until July 31, 2027, with a posted date of July 27, 2026, allowing potential vendors a full year to prepare and submit proposals. The contracting organization is the Department of Defense, specifically under the F3YCCF 448 Scmw office, and while no set-aside provisions are specified, the nature of the requirement suggests it is intended for capable industrial suppliers with experience in aerospace-grade polymer optics and advanced coating technologies. The contract does not include a designated point of contact, and all inquiries must be directed through the official SAM.gov workspace link provided. Compliance with military-grade performance standards and the ability to scale production from the base unit to the full option quantity are essential for successful bid consideration.
