Solicitation SPRTA1-27-R-0110 is a pre-solicitation for a firm fixed price contract to acquire Engaging Controllers for C-17 aircraft.

The government is seeking a minimum of 4 units, with a best estimate of 16 and a maximum of 24 units, for delivery by February 29, 2028. The procurement is managed by the Department of Defense through the Office of DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City, with William Bass serving as the primary point of contact. The award decision will be based on a combination of price and past performance, with price being a significant factor. Key technical requirements include compliance with IUID marking and specific physical dimensions and material compositions involving metals and silicon. Because the government does not own the manufacturing data rights, interested firms are encouraged to contact the original equipment manufacturer, BAE Systems Controls, Inc. The response deadline is November 20, 2026, and all submissions must be handled electronically via SAM.gov. Foreign-owned firms are advised to verify award restrictions due to the military application of the technology.
