The contract is for the procurement of 91 units of a CLAMP, LOOP part identified by NSN 5340-01-174-9259, with a delivery deadline of 166 days after order. Manufacturing must be performed using a metal casting process, requiring specialized tooling, and potential suppliers are directed to contact DLA’s Aviation or Land & Maritime Supply Chains for sourcing and tooling assistance.
