Things to watch (7)
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Serious: Sole-source request to TransDigm Inc.. The Army plans to award only to TransDigm Inc. (CAGE code 81833); the documents do not say whether any other firm may send an offer or by when.
- Worth checking: Funds not yet available. No contract will be awarded until money is available to pay for it.
- Worth checking: First article test (FAT) required before production. A first article test (a pre-production test of 1 Each) must be approved in writing before the rest of the quantity can be made; the firm bears the cost of repeat tests.

- Worth checking: Cost or pricing data requirements. The offer must include certified cost or pricing data or a written request for an exception, plus detailed Excel cost and sales data open to DCMA and DCAA review.
- Worth checking: Contractor pays transportation to Fort Bliss. Delivery is F.o.b. destination, so shipping costs are the contractor's; the first 151 Each are due 365 calendar days from award.
- Minor: Rated order under the Defense Priorities and Allocations System. The contract is a priority-rated order, which carries a duty to give it priority over unrated work.
- Minor: Date passed (Sep 3, 2026): Special Provisions attachment shows a different solicitation number. Attachment 0001, dated September 3, 2026, is headed W31P4Q26RA008, not W31P4Q27RA007; ask the contracting specialist to confirm it applies.
