SPE4A726R0715-011532314-CYLINDER ASSEMBLY,A

The Defense Logistics Agency is conducting market research to identify qualified industries capable of manufacturing the Cylinder Assembly, A, identified by NSN 1650-011532314 and part number 1168960-507. The requirement calls for full new manufacture including component procurement, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, with additional responsibilities spanning supply chain management, production forecasting, procurement of long-lead items, and addressing diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages. The estimated annual need is 92 units, and unit pricing will be determined upon contract award. This effort is classified under NAICS code 336413 and is being managed by the DLA Aviation office in Richmond, Virginia, with no set-aside provisions applied. Responses are due by July 24, 2026, and the outcome will inform the subsequent procurement strategy. Interested parties must possess the infrastructure and expertise to independently execute all aspects of production and logistics for this critical aerospace component. The point of contact for inquiries is April Reed, reachable via email or phone, and all submissions must be directed through the official SAM.gov portal referenced in the posting. The place of performance is unspecified beyond Virginia, and contractors are expected to handle end-to-end delivery of conforming assemblies to meet military requirements. This synthesis of technical, logistical, and supply chain demands highlights the need for experienced manufacturers with proven capabilities in defense-grade component fabrication.
