Precision Aerospace Component Manufacturing – Manifold Assembly Production

The contract involves the manufacture of a three-position, four-way solenoid pilot valve manifold assembly with an integrated manual depressurization valve, specifically designed for use in KC-135 aircraft hydraulic systems. The assembly must be constructed from aluminum to meet stringent performance, durability, and weight requirements inherent to military aviation applications. The component is critical for precise hydraulic control and safe system maintenance, requiring robust engineering and strict adherence to aerospace-grade manufacturing standards. This is a subcontract opportunity issued by the Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in Oklahoma City, with a posting date of May 12, 2026, and a response deadline of June 11, 2026. The NAICS code 332996 indicates the work falls under Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing, reflecting the specialized nature of precision component fabrication. There is no set-aside designation, and the place of performance is not specified, implying flexibility in location as long as delivery and compliance requirements are met. The contract is open to qualified subcontractors capable of meeting the technical and quality demands of defense aerospace systems.
