Supply of Obsolescent and Long-Lead Components for Fire Extinguisher

The contract involves the procurement and delivery of hard-to-find or discontinued components essential for the assembly of fire extinguishers, with a focus on parts that are no longer readily available through standard supply channels. The work requires reverse engineering to replicate obsolete parts, followed by rigorous qualification testing to ensure they meet the stringent performance and safety standards required by the Department of Defense. All delivered components must be accompanied by complete documentation to facilitate DoD acceptance and integration into existing systems. The subcontract is part of a broader effort to maintain critical fire suppression equipment readiness by addressing supply chain gaps for aging military hardware. The solicitation is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 423830 and is managed by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation at Huntsville. The opportunity was posted on May 5, 2026, with a response deadline of May 20, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. The place of performance and specific agency details are not fully specified, indicating flexibility in execution location as long as compliance with DoD requirements is met. This effort is critical for sustaining operational readiness of fire extinguisher systems across military platforms where modern replacements are unavailable, and existing inventories are degrading due to age or obsolescence.
