DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City (Defense Logistics Agency, Department of Defense) wants quotes for QTY 4 EA of a fuel system valve for a turboprop engine.

Things to watch (8)
From the version posted Oct 16, 2026.
- Serious: Critical safety item: approved sources only. A business that is not an approved source for this valve cannot supply it, so check with the contracting officer before spending time on a quote.
- Serious: Only the named part number is acceptable. Part-numbered items must come from the listed manufacturer and match the part number, so a similar valve will not qualify.
- Worth checking: Date passed (Sep 2, 2026): Required delivery date of September 2, 2026 comes before the response due date. The schedule asks for delivery on or before September 2, 2026, but Section M says a quoted delivery that misses the required date may still be considered responsive.

- Worth checking: Cost or pricing data may be required. If the Government asks for certified cost and pricing data and a bidder does not send it, that bidder is ineligible for award.
- Minor: Response due date extended twice. The amendment moves the response due date to November 15, 2026 from October 31, 2026, which had replaced May 11, 2026; the attached form still shows May 11, 2026.
- Minor: Price-hold period: 120 days or 60 days. One line says offered prices stay firm for 120 days, while the form's default wording says 60 calendar days unless the bidder inserts another period; ask the buyer which applies.
- Minor: Item unique identification and serial number required. Each valve needs a serial number and an IUID mark, which adds marking and registry reporting work to a small order.
- Minor: Past performance is read from the SPRS risk score. No past performance paperwork is needed, but a weak Supplier Risk Score can hurt the offer, and a firm with no record gets a Neutral rating.
