The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA Weapons Support, Tinker AFB, Oklahoma) is asking for quotes on 2 new-manufactured steel combustion chamber cases (NSN 2840-00-518-6281) that house a third stage rotor assembly. The part is a flight Critical Safety Item bought for a Foreign Military Sales case, shipped from the supplier's facility. The required delivery shown is 700 calendar days, and quotes are due November 4, 2026.
Watch out for

- Critical Safety Item. This is a flight-safety part with tighter quality, traceability and reporting duties, which is hard for a small shop that has not made it before.
One or more of the items being procured under this contract is an aviation or ship
- No drawings or technical data in the files. The files do not include the drawing, specification or manufacturing data needed to build the part, so you cannot price or make it without getting that data from the buyer.
- Foreign Military Sales and rated order. The item is bought for a foreign customer under an FMS case and carries a DO-A1 priority rating, so delivery, export-control and shipping rules are stricter.

This is a request for information, and quotations furnished are not offers.
- Long delivery with price held for 120 days. You must keep the price firm for 120 days while delivery is listed at 700 calendar days, so material cost swings land on you.

- Cybersecurity and supplier-risk checks. A current NIST SP 800-171 score in SPRS may be needed, and the buyer will look at your SPRS supplier, item and price risk.
