STUD, TURNLOCK FASTE

The U.S. Department of Defense, through DLA Aviation, is pursuing a long-term strategic contract under solicitation SPE4A626R0244 to provide critical hardware components supporting six major military platforms: the A-10 Thunderbolt, AH-64 Apache helicopter, B-1B bomber, H-60 Navy Seahawk helicopter, F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft, and CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter. This action replaces solicitation SPE4A625R0023 and covers 17 remaining National Stock Numbers (NSNs) related to fasteners, hardware, and assemblies, including socket head cap screws, blind rivets, turnlock fasteners, washers, nuts, grommets, and screw thread inserts, all essential to maintaining operational readiness across these systems. The contract will be awarded as a fixed-price, indefinite-quantity agreement under FAR 16 for a five-year period, with evaluation and award conducted line-by-line using best value selection methods, and the government retains the right to award multiple contracts. The procurement is being conducted using other than full and open competition, with no set-aside specified, and is classified under NAICS code 332722 for aerospace manufacturing. The solicitation, posted as a presolicitation on June 26, 2026, will be formally released on DIBBS no later than July 2, 2026, with proposals due by August 3, 2026. While the estimated annual demand for each NSN is provided, total contract value and unit pricing are not disclosed, and no details on packaging, inspection criteria, delivery schedules, or place of performance are included in the current documentation. All submissions will be evaluated based on best value, and the primary point of contact for inquiries is April Wynn of DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia.
