The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research through a sources sought notice for the national stock number 1680-01-480-1735, known as the A DELTA P INDICATOR, with a weapon system designator code of 43N, primarily used on the F/A-18 Hornet. Currently, this item is manufactured by TRIUMPH GEAR SYSTEMS INC under part number 42312-498 and PALL AEROPOWER CORPORATION under part number TD512UL04X. This notice is not a solicitation or procurement action, does not obligate the government to award a contract, and no funds are available for response preparation. Interested parties seeking to qualify as potential suppliers must demonstrate the ability to manufacture or legitimately obtain the item to match or exceed the quality standards of the current approved sources. Responses must be submitted by August 10, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time to Tatjana Klemmer at tatjana.klemmer@dla.mil. To be considered for approval as a qualified source, companies must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package in accordance with the Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook, which outlines rigorous technical and quality benchmarks. The SAR process requires comprehensive documentation proving the product’s equivalence or superiority to the existing item, including design, manufacturing, and quality control data. The handbook, aligned with the Competition in Contracting Act, FAR, and DFARS, emphasizes the responsibility of the applicant to validate capability through engineering evaluation, site surveys, and compliance with critical safety item procedures. While there is no active procurement at this time, successful SAR submission may position a company as a future supplier if future sourcing decisions require competition or replacement of current vendors. The contracting office is located in Richmond, Virginia, and evaluations are subject to a potentially lengthy review cycle exceeding 180 days.
