Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, Richmond proposes to issue a Letter Request for Proposal (RFP) to support A DLA Strategic Initiative. This strategic effort includes multiple NSNs to support various sole sourced weapon systems / operational platforms. A total of 20 NSNs for various platforms / weapon systems are targeted for this RFP and contract action. OEM Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. (89305) has been identified as the approved source of supply for the listed items; therefore, the proposed action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to the OEM. It is anticipated that 20 items will be awarded and priced with lead-times as add-ons to Subsumable Contract: SPE4AX18D9414 designated under existing Umbrella Long-Term Contract (LTC): SPE4AX18D9402. It is the Government's intent to use a letter solicitation format to the sole source Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); therefore, if a non-OEM source is interested in any of the NSNs, please notify the Contracting Officer prior to the synopsis closing date. These items have been identified as sole source; however, some items may have history showing awards to other than the OEM. Surplus dealers are also invited to respond to this synopsis. The response should include a completed surplus certificate, DLA Procurement Note 04, Government Surplus Property Material or adequate traceability documentation to show that the product is acceptable. (Note: DLA Procurement Note M05 Evaluation Factor for Unused Former Government Surplus Property will apply and other Aviation sites will provide their equivalent surplus documentation, as applicable). Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM should identify items of interest and include evidence of ability to supply the items in accordance with the aforementioned acquisition strategy. In addition, respondents should identify the available quantities, prices, and lead-times. DLA will consider all such responses and may alter the acquisition strategy if purchase of existing surplus or newly-manufactured inventory is in the best interest of the government.

A copy of the letter of interest should be forwarded to the contracting officer identified herein and SBA PCR (Tammy.birdsong@sba.gov).
