Solicitation # SPE4AX26R0013
The Department of Defense, through DLA Aviation’s Weapons Support office in Richmond, Virginia, is conducting market research under solicitation number SPE4AX26R0013 to identify capable vendors for the new manufacture of items identified by multiple National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs), currently exclusively licensed to Boeing Distribution Services, Inc. The requirement encompasses full production responsibilities including procurement and fabrication of component parts, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, with no technical orders or qualification requirements available to guide manufacturers. The applicable NAICS codes are 336413, 332991, and 332722, with 332991 designated as the primary classification. The government will evaluate respondents based on their ability to meet the scope and scale of the effort, demonstrate access to sufficient financial, human, and technical resources, implement robust project management practices covering schedule adherence, cost control, performance tracking, key personnel retention, and risk mitigation, and deliver under a performance-based service acquisition framework. No solicitation exists at this time, and responses are strictly voluntary with no financial obligation or feedback provided by the government. Submission of detailed capability statements along with organizational information, including ownership type, contact details, and any anticipated subcontracting or teaming arrangements, is required by July 30, 2026, via email to andrew.collins@dla.mil. The outcome of this market research will determine whether the eventual procurement will be set aside for small businesses or conducted as full and open competition, potentially resulting in multiple awards. Unit pricing will be determined only after contract award, and no CLINs, quantities, or costs are included in this request. The NIIN list referenced includes items under Federal Supply Classes 3120, 1660, and 5310 with specific part numbers, but no delivery schedules, inspection criteria, or packaging standards are prescribed.
