High-Strength Aluminum Sheet Manufacturing (7075-T76511 Alloy)

The contract calls for the manufacture and supply of 66 linear feet of aerospace-grade aluminum sheet in the 7075-T76511 alloy, sourced from a single heat lot to ensure material consistency and traceability. The material must fully comply with the SAE-AMS-QQ-A-200/15 specification, which governs the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and processing standards for high-strength aluminum alloys used in critical aerospace applications. The requirement emphasizes strict adherence to metallurgical controls, including heat treatment and tempering processes, to guarantee the material meets the stringent performance benchmarks needed in defense and aviation systems. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Department of Defense through DLA Fleet Readiness Southwest, with a response deadline of July 22, 2026. The NAICS code 331315 identifies the industrial classification as Aluminum Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding, indicating the work involves precision metal forming operations. The contract does not specify a set-aside classification, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors regardless of small business status. All work must be performed to meet exacting military-grade quality and documentation standards, with no location restrictions noted for performance, though the materials will ultimately support DoD logistics and fleet readiness requirements.
