B-2 Main Landing Gear Wheel Assembly

The contract notice seeks to conduct market research to identify potential sources capable of fulfilling the agency's requirement for a specific wheel assembly component, associated with the B-2 main landing gear. The item in question is identified by National Stock Number 1630012628315 and part number DAA3222P506-103, with an estimated quantity of 29 units needed. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Ogden, Utah, with delivery destinations and schedules yet to be determined. This announcement is a sources-sought notice rather than a request for proposal or bid, and the government does not intend to award a contract based solely on the information received. The acquisition is justified under authority that restricts competition to a limited number of sources, with Honeywell International identified as a potential supplier. While the requirement is not expected to be set aside for small businesses, the notice encourages small firms or those interested in subcontracting opportunities to express interest. The government is open to receiving capability statements and proposals and invites parties to communicate their ability to meet the requirement with commercial items within 15 days of the notice. Participation considerations include adherence to Free Trade Agreements, and the solicitation emphasizes enhancing competition and access to acquisition information in its market research efforts.
