Defense Logistics Agency Aviation (Tinker AFB, Oklahoma) wants 2,610 sets of TF33 jet engine compressor blades, shipped to the DLA Distribution Depot at Tinker AFB. The government plans to negotiate with one or a limited number of sources (the qualified source named is United Technologies Corporation / Pratt & Whitney), but says it will consider all proposals received. The order would be firm fixed price under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement.
Things to watch
- Likely sole or limited-source buy. The government says it intends to negotiate with only one or a limited number of sources, and the only qualified source listed is United Technologies Corporation, so a new bidder faces long odds.
This notice of intent is not a request for competition.
- Letter addressed to one company. The request for quote is a memorandum addressed to Pratt & Whitney under a Basic Ordering Agreement, which may limit who can receive an order.
this requirement has been advertised in the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) for viewing by the general public.
- Conflicting details between documents. The letter lists part number 410027 and delivery by 31 Dec 2021 with a 07 Jan 2019 due date, while the synopsis lists part number 410033, delivery TBD and a 2 JAN 2019 closing.
Please provide your proposal no later than 3:00 PM CST, 07 Jan 2019.
- Old notice. The posted dates are from 2018 and 2019, so this opportunity is likely closed.
- Aircraft engine part with quality system and packaging rules. Suppliers need an aerospace quality system and military packaging, marking and shipping compliance, which adds cost for a small firm.
Items shall be packaged in accordance with MIL-STD-2073-1, Standard Practice for Military Packaging.
