AI Contract Overview
The contract seeks to procure air heat exchangers designed to transfer hot bleed air from an air cycle machine compressor to overboard cold air ducts. The product is specifically for use with the B-2 aircraft and consists of aluminum alloy and various metals, measuring approximately 31 by 17.3 by 12.7 inches and weighing 42.7 pounds. The contract includes two line items: one for 12 production units with a minimum order of 3 and a maximum of 18, and another for a first article unit. Deliveries are to be made primarily to Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, with the production items required by February 24, 2027. The solicitation does not include qualification requirements or export control restrictions but requires unique item identification (IUID) compliance. The procurement is a sole-source acquisition, limited to select qualified suppliers such as Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation and Aero Core X, reflecting no recent procurement history for this item. The government emphasizes that this solicitation is not a competitive request but invites capability statements or proposals within specified deadlines. Funding is contingent on appropriations, and the final award considers price and past performance. Electronic submissions are mandatory, with the solicitation available exclusively on the government’s SAM.gov platform. The contract is managed by the Department of Defense through the Oklahoma DLA Aviation office, and inquiries may be directed to the contracting officer Dana Kaiser. An ombudsman is also appointed to address concerns confidentially during the proposal process.
