The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is conducting a presolicitation for the procurement of specific aircraft-related items listed in the Bell Military Spares Catalog, with the intention of contracting exclusively with Bell (CAGE 97499) as the sole approved source. This opportunity aims to assess market capabilities for manufacturing the identified National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs) and to explore whether other suppliers can meet the requirements, although it is not a solicitation for offers. The engagement is part of the DLA's efforts to ensure compliance with federal contracting regulations while potentially expanding the supplier base for defense contracts. Interested manufacturers must submit their qualifications by August 16, 2024, and can contact Candice Shaw at candice.shaw@dla.mil or by phone at 804-279-6915 for further information.
