AI summary Beta
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation, Oklahoma City) plans a sole-source buy of 23 turbine frames (a hot-gas duct part) for the F110 engine from General Electric. Delivery goes to Tinker AFB, OK by 18 January 2027. This is a notice of intent, not a request for competition, though other responsible sources may still send a capability statement or proposal.
Watch out for
- Sole-source intent. The government expects to buy from only one source, so a new bidder has a very low chance of winning unless it can show it can make this exact part.
This notice of intent is not a request for competition.
- Only one qualified source named. General Electric is the only qualified source listed, and it is also the last supplier, so a small business would be competing against the engine maker's own part design and data.
17. Qualified Sources: General Electric Company, Inc.; CAGE: 07482.
- Tight delivery date for a complex part. All 23 units are due 18 January 2027, only a few months after award, for a part made of specialty alloys.
Delivery Number 1: 23 units on 18 JAN 2027.
- Government decides whether to compete. Responses are normally used only to decide whether to run a competition, and that decision is entirely up to the government.
