Precision Machining of Aircraft Elevator Components

The contract involves the precision machining of structural and mechanical components for aircraft elevators, using 7075-T6 and 2024-T3 aluminum alloys, with tight dimensional tolerances required to meet aerospace performance standards. All components must be prepared for bonding, indicating the need for specific surface treatments and cleanliness protocols to ensure structural integrity in final assembly. The work requires advanced CNC machining capabilities and adherence to strict quality controls typical of defense aviation applications, with the supplier expected to deliver fully compliant parts without further fabrication. This subcontract is issued under the Department of Defense, specifically by the ASC SUPPLIER OPER AE AND AF DIV, with the NAICS code 332721 indicating metal forging and stamping services, though the actual work focuses on precision machining. The solicitation was posted on July 20, 2026, with a response deadline of August 19, 2026, and the place of performance is not specified, implying flexibility in location as long as delivery requirements are met. Interested parties must respond through the DIBBS portal, and while no set-aside designation is listed, the nature of the work suggests it is targeted toward qualified aerospace subcontractors with proven experience in defense-related components.
