Servovalve, Hydraulic

Contract SPRTA1-26-C-0105 is a firm-fixed-price award issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Oklahoma City for the procurement of 150 hydraulic servovalves (NSN 1650009605707 / PN 6U6009-1) for use in F5/T38 aircraft. The contract is awarded on a sole-source basis to Thomas Instruments, Inc. (CAGE 5H860) under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and FAR 6.302-1. This restrictive sourcing is necessitated by the government's lack of proprietary technical data rights and the high-reliability requirements of the component, as indicated by multiple Aerospace Material Specification (AMSC) codes including H, P, R, S, U, and V. The scope of work focuses on obtaining mission-critical flight control components that must adhere to MIL-STD-2175 for Class 1 castings. Performance and delivery are designated for Brookshire, Texas, with administrative oversight managed by the contracting office at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. Due to the acquisition exceeding $15 million and involving critical technical restrictions, the contract requires the submission of AVN Form S53 for technical certification. No options for term extensions or increased quantities are included in the current award structure.
