HEAD ASSEMBLY for C-130 Aircraft

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is conducting market research to identify capable sources for the new manufacture of a HEAD ASSEMBLY, part number 7583190, for the C-130 Hercules aircraft. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 336413. This is a request for proposal for an Indefinite Quantity Contract with a base period of five (5) years and zero (0) option periods, with an estimated annual demand of 10 units. Production is expected to take 365 days, and export control applies. The NSN is not a Critical Safety Item, nor does it have First Article Test or Production Lot Test requirements. Potential sources must demonstrate the capability to provide all necessary labor, materials, facilities, and equipment for the new manufacture of the item, including component part manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. Additionally, capable sources may be responsible for supply chain management, logistics planning, forecasting production requirements, procuring long-lead time parts, addressing diminishing manufacturing sources and material shortages, and shipping serviceable assets. Specifications, plans, or drawings may be available via DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).
