The Defense Logistics Agency's DLA Aviation office in Philadelphia asks for quotes on an aircraft antenna. Only government-approved sources with FAA-certified parts can win, and the notice text gives no quantity, part number or NSN. The response due date is November 23, 2026, 4:30 PM UTC-4.

Things to watch (6)
From the version posted Oct 26, 2026.
- Serious: Approved sources only. Offers from sources the Government has not approved are ineligible, so a business that is not on the approved list cannot win.
- Serious: Quantity, unit and item details not stated. The notice text gives no quantity, unit of issue, NSN or part number, and a quote is priced per unit. Check the SAM.gov attachments.
- Worth checking: No drawings available. You cannot get drawings, so only a source that already knows the part can quote it.

- Worth checking: Aerospace quality system required. The clause list marks the higher-level quality requirement, so you may need a certified aerospace quality system or its equivalent.
- Worth checking: New parts only. Refurbished, remanufactured or repaired parts make an offer ineligible.
- Minor: Critical safety item rules may apply. A defense clause on identifying critical safety items is included by reference. Ask whether this antenna is one.
