The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Aviation, Oklahoma City) wants gearbox cover assemblies (part 37R601155P139, NSN 2840-00-110-6672) for the J85 engine, delivered to the DLA Distribution Depot at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. The attached letter says the buy is sole sourced to General Electric Company and will be ordered under an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. The current quantity is 62 units, with a possible range of 15 to 93.
Watch out for
- Sole-source letter to General Electric. The solicitation is addressed to General Electric and says it is sole sourced, so a small business is unlikely to win and would need to show a very strong case.
MEMORANDUM FOR: General Electric Company
- Quantity and award not guaranteed. The final quantity can change and the Government may award nothing at all, which makes pricing and tooling investment risky.
The current required production quantity is 62 ea. However, the final required quantity may change.
- Funding not yet certified. No obligation can be made until FY27 funds are certified, so award timing may slip while delivery dates start 31 Dec 2026.
No obligation may be incurred by the government until FY27 funds
- Tight delivery schedule. The first 25 units are due 31 Dec 2026, only about two months after the proposal deadline.
Deliver 25 unit(s) on 31 DEC 2026.
- Aerospace-quality and marking requirements. The item needs IUID marking, military packaging and marking, and an ISO 9001 quality system, which add cost and compliance work.
Items shall be packaged in accordance with MIL-STD-2073-1, Standard Practice for Military Packaging.
