SPRRA126Q0017, MOTOR-PUMP, HYDRAULIC

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is conducting market research to identify qualified manufacturers capable of producing a specific hydraulic motor-pump (NSN: 1650-01-119-7429, Part Number: 145HS520-6) used in the CHINOOK weapon system. This notice is not a solicitation and does not guarantee a contract award. The government does not own the data rights necessary to procure this part from multiple sources, nor is reverse engineering practical, so it seeks potential suppliers—especially small and disadvantaged businesses—to register as potential sources and prepare for future competitive opportunities. Interested firms must meet prequalification criteria and be prepared to manage all aspects of production, including supply chain, logistics, engineering services, and material forecasting. This sources sought synopsis falls under the NAICS code 336413 (Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 1,250 employees. The contract performance will require adherence to special requirements after award, including handling recurring and nonrecurring engineering efforts and addressing obsolescence and long-lead time issues. The government emphasizes that no funds are available for response preparation and that submissions are voluntary, with no obligation for contract award. Potential contractors are encouraged to seek source approval via the Aviation Manufacturing and Certification website to participate in future solicitations. The official point of contact is Jessica Coleman at DLA Aviation, with an alternative contact being Lisa Johnson.
