STOP, PYLON TRACK

This solicitation, issued by DLA Aviation under solicitation number SPE4A7-26-R-XA33, is a Request for Quotations for an Indefinite Delivery Contract to procure Pylon Track Stops. The contract is a Total Small Business Set-Aside with a five-year base period and a total value not to exceed $349,999.99. The manufacturing process involves metal casting, which requires specific tooling. The procurement is structured around an estimated annual demand of 80 units, with delivery orders ranging from a minimum of 20 units to a maximum of 80 units. The award will be determined through a best-value trade-off process, where past performance—specifically SPSR assessments—is considered significantly more important than price. The contract is subject to rigorous technical, quality, and security requirements. Contractors must maintain CMMC Level 2 certification and adhere to strict protocols for handling Covered Defense Information and export-controlled technical data under ITAR or EAR regulations. Quality assurance is governed by tailored higher-level requirements, and inspection and acceptance will occur at the point of origin. Packaging and marking must strictly comply with MIL-STD-129 and DLA packaging requirements, with specific mandates for hazardous material labeling and 2D Data Matrix barcoding. Additionally, because these are airworthiness parts for FAA type-certified aircraft, contractors must provide proper shipment documentation via the DLA Automated Records Traceability database. Proposals must be submitted electronically via EDI or email by the August 20, 2026, deadline, with pricing strictly limited to the provided single-page form.
