Miscellaneous Spare Parts

The Defense Logistics Agency - Aviation is seeking to add various sole source consumable National Stock Numbers (NSNs) from Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. to its existing corporate contract supporting H-1, OH-58, and UH series aircraft. This procurement will be handled under contract SPE4A514R0508, with deliveries made directly to the Department of Defense through a DLA Direct arrangement. Key terms include delivery and fill rate performance metrics, with items shipped FOB Origin and inspection and acceptance occurring at the origin point. The agency invites surplus and small business dealers with existing stocks or newly manufactured materials to respond with appropriate surplus certificates or traceability documentation showing product acceptability; such responses may influence the acquisition strategy if government needs can be met through existing inventories. The government intends to use a letter solicitation format directed solely to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), Bell Helicopter Textron Inc., located in Hurst, Texas. However, it encourages any non-OEM sources interested in supplying any of the listed NSNs to notify the Contracting Officer prior to the synopsis closing date. The solicitation was posted on February 5, 2014, with the letter solicitation scheduled for release on February 26, 2014. The place of performance is Richmond, Virginia, and Timothy L. Holcey is the point of contact for this procurement. The contract falls under NAICS code 336413, which covers guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing, reflecting its aviation and aerospace nature.
