VANE SEGMENT ASSEMB

The contract involves the procurement of 264 units of vane segment assemblies, identified by NSN 2840-01-554-7718OJ and part number 23083698, with a requested delivery date on or before March 15, 2027. These assemblies are designated as critical safety items and require first article testing and qualification. The acquisition is restricted to approved sources, specifically Rolls-Royce Corporation and Pacific Sky Supply, INC., both holding valid CAGE codes. This procurement is controlled for export and is not a small business set-aside, nor is surplus stock authorized. The contract is being conducted under a justification that limits competition to a limited number of responsible sources, authorized by FAR 6.302 and 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). The previous purchase history shows Rolls-Royce Corporation was awarded a contract for 12 units at a unit price of $5,882.71. This acquisition is managed by the Department of Defense at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, with the solicitation expected to be issued on March 18, 2026, and closing on April 18, 2026. Although the notice invites capability statements and proposals from all responsible sources, the government currently plans to negotiate with select sources only. The purchase involves items with potential military or space applications and imposes export controls, with the extent of foreign participation yet to be determined. The government emphasizes that funding is contingent on appropriations, and no legal liability arises until funds are available and the contractor is notified. The solicitation will be handled electronically via www.fbo.gov, and questions can be directed to the designated contracting officers. An ombudsman is available to address offeror concerns confidentially during the acquisition process.
