Pump Fuel Jet Engine

This contract involves the procurement of jet engine fuel pump spares, specifically the Fuel Pump for the F110 engine, with an estimated issue date of September 26, 2025, and a response deadline of October 11, 2025. The contract is set to deliver 25 units starting on or before September 31, 2026, to Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. The initial award was made to Eaton Corporation in 2017 under a different contract, and the current solicitation emphasizes the need for qualified sources, with Eaton being the sole approved supplier. The procurement is classified as a sole-source acquisition under the authority of FAR 6.302, due to the specialized nature of the item and its military application, with no foreign participation permitted. The contract includes specific qualification requirements, and the items are made from aluminum, serving a critical function of supplying filtered, pressurized fuel for engine operation and shaft power to the engine control. The government intends to evaluate proposals based on price and past performance, with prices over $5,000 subject to UID requirements. The solicitation will be available electronically on SAM.gov, and the government emphasizes that this is not a competitive procurement but will consider any timely responses for future planning. An appointed Ombudsman is available to address concerns during the proposal development phase, and questions can be directed to the designated buyer, James Headington.
