This contract involves the procurement of turbine aircraft disks, specifically identified by NSN 2840-01-290-7475JU and part number 1385M56P06, made from Inconel material. The disks are intended for use in the F118 engine and will be delivered to Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The request for proposals (RFP SPRTA1-26-R-0137) was issued on December 16, 2025, with a closing date of December 31, 2025. The order quantity for this line item is a minimum of one and a maximum of six units, with an initial delivery of one unit required by September 30, 2027. The contract is a follow-up to one originally awarded in 2012 to General Electric Company, the sole qualified source for this procurement, under provisions allowing for limited competition due to specialized requirements. The acquisition is conducted under federal regulations that emphasize availability from limited sources, with no set-aside for small businesses, and includes compliance with qualification and unique identification (UID) requirements if the unit price exceeds $5,000. The solicitation is available exclusively via electronic download on SAM.gov, and the government’s obligation to fund the contract is contingent upon appropriations. Interested parties are invited to submit proposals or capability statements within the prescribed response period, though the government anticipates negotiating with the known qualified source. Price and past performance will factor into the award decision. An Ombudsman is available to address concerns confidentially during the proposal phase, ensuring transparent communication without interfering in the evaluation process. Questions may be directed to the designated buyer, James Headington.
