Seal, Air, Aircraft G (1C)

The U.S. Department of Defense, through DLA Aviation at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, is pursuing a sole-source acquisition for 107 nickel alloy air seals (NSN 2840012769822NZ, PN 4071088) designated for use in F100 aircraft engines, with delivery required by November 4, 2026. The procurement is justified under FAR 6.302 due to the exclusive technical qualification and prior performance of RTX Corp., the only qualified source, and is not being conducted under FAR Part 12 as a commercial item acquisition. The contract requires full compliance with Item Unique Identification (IUID) standards per MIL-STD-130, including mandatory marking with the National Stock Number and Part Number using Data Matrix barcodes, and adherence to export control regulations under ITAR or EAR. All deliverables must be shipped to SW3211, Tinker AFB, OK, 73145-8000, with acceptance conducted by the Government at that location. The solicitation, issued as a presolicitation on June 25, 2026, with a response deadline of July 10, 2026, will be submitted electronically through SAM.gov without physical submissions accepted. Evaluation for award will consider price and past performance as significant factors, indicating a potential trade-off approach rather than a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method, though no specific weights or adjectival ratings are provided. The contract includes special requirements for export controls, IUID compliance, and use of qualified sources, with no small business set-aside specified. The contracting officer, Rhonda Ehrhardt, serves as the primary point of contact for all inquiries, and while payment, accounting, and invoicing details are not explicitly outlined, payment is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds and electronic processing systems. No additional contract clauses, packaging specifications, or inspection criteria beyond IUID and export control compliance are detailed in the available information, and the full solicitation document referenced as “See Attached Document” is required for comprehensive terms and conditions.
