Support, Turbine Noz (1C)

The contract solicitation SPRTA126R1091 pertains to the procurement of a Turbine Stator Support Assembly (TOBI), identified by NSN 2840015454839NZ and part number 4088292, for use on the F100 engine under the Department of Defense. This is a presolicitation notice indicating a sole source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1, justified by the limited number of qualified sources—specifically Union Machine Co and Raytheon Technologies Corporation—who are pre-approved for this component. The requirement calls for eight units of the assembly with a minimum of three and maximum of fifteen units possible, alongside two units for first article testing, one unit for evaluation by an alternate source, and mandatory submission of a First Article Test Plan and Test Report. All deliveries must be completed by May 1, 2028, at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with the designated delivery point identified as SW3211. The procurement explicitly prohibits commercial item acquisition procedures under FAR Part 12 and instead follows full negotiated procedures under FAR Part 15. The contract includes stringent requirements for Item Unique Identification (IUID), export control compliance, and mandatory First Article Contractor Testing for all non-OEM suppliers. Price is a significant evaluation factor alongside technical capability and past performance in a trade-off selection process, though no numerical weights or adjectival ratings are disclosed. Proposals must be submitted electronically via SAM.gov by the deadline of July 8, 2026, with no hardcopy submissions accepted. Payment is dependent on appropriated funds, and the sole point of contact for inquiries is Rhonda Ehrhardt at the Oklahoma City DLA Aviation office. The acquisition involves no small business set-aside and imposes no option periods or security clearance requirements, focusing instead on strict adherence to military specifications, traceability standards, and qualified source limitations.
