The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation) plans to buy a valve-holder assembly for UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, to be delivered about 245 days after award. It is a foreign military sale for Germany. The actual solicitation is expected on or about October 13, 2026 on the DIBBS website.

Watch out for

Approved source listed. The part has a named approved source, so a new or unapproved supplier may have to prove its product is acceptable and may be at a disadvantage. Approved Source: SYMETRICS INDUSTRIES, LLC (22830)
Full Part 15 competition, not simplified. A FAR Part 15 negotiated buy usually takes more paperwork and proposal effort than a simple quote. This NSN is non-commercial and will utilize solicitation and award procedures IAW FAR 15.
Origin inspection and FMS buy. Inspection and acceptance happen at your facility, and this is a foreign military sale for Germany, which can add export and documentation steps. Terms are FOB Origin, Inspection and Acceptance at Origin.
Strategy may change. The government says it may change how it buys if surplus or new inventory is a better deal, so the final requirement could differ. The government may alter the acquisition strategy if purchase of existing surplus or newly-manufactured inventory is in the best interest of the Government.
