Dust Seal Boot Manufacturing

The contract calls for the manufacturing and supply of rubber dust seal boots specifically designed for aircraft components, with stringent requirements for durability under military-grade environmental conditions. All products must meet exacting standards to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, vibration, and particulate exposure typically encountered in defense aviation operations. The effort is structured as a subcontract under a Total Small Business Set-Aside, designated by the NAICS code 326220, ensuring that only small businesses are eligible to bid. The solicitation, issued by the Department of Defense through DLA Aviation, has a response deadline of July 10, 2026, and performance is expected to be based in Richmond. The set-aside classification reinforces the intent to support small business participation in defense supply chains, with no preference given to larger enterprises or prime contractors.
