Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, Richmond proposes to issue a Letter Request for Proposal (RFP) to support a DLA Strategic Initiative. This strategic effort includes multiple NSNs to support various sole source weapon systems / operational platforms. A total of 120 NSNs for various platforms / weapon systems are targeted for this RFP and contract action. OEM Parker Hannifin Corporation (59211) has been identified as the approved source of supply for the listed items; therefore, the proposed action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to the OEM. It is anticipated that 120 items will be awarded and priced with lead-times as add-ons to the OEM's existing Long-Term Contracts (LTCs): Captains of Industry (COI) Supplier Capabilities Contract (SCC) SPE4AX-21-D-9402 for commercial items and SPE4AX-21-D-9403 for military unique items (Parker Hannifin Commercial Subsumable Contract).

It is the Government's intent to use a letter solicitation format to the sole source Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); therefore, if a non-OEM source is interested in any of the NSNs, please notify the Contracting Officer prior to the synopsis closing date. These items have been identified as sole source; however, some items may have history showing awards to other than the OEM. Surplus dealers are also invited to respond to this synopsis. The response should include a completed surplus certificate, DLA Procurement Note 04, Government Surplus Property Material or adequate traceability documentation to show that the product is acceptable. (Note: DLA Procurement Note M05 Evaluation Factor for Unused Former Government Surplus Property, will apply and other Aviation sites will provide their equivalent surplus documentation, as applicable). Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM should identify items of interest and include evidence of ability to supply the items in accordance with the aforementioned acquisition strategy. In addition, respondents should identify the available quantities, prices, and lead-times. DLA will consider all such responses and may alter the acquisition strategy if purchase of existing surplus or newly manufactured inventory is in the best interest of the government.  Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM are required by Tuesday, November 26, 2025.  A copy of the letter of interest should be forwarded to the contracting officer identified.

If your company desires to be reviewed and qualified as an "Approved Source" for any of the items listed, submit an application package through the Source Approval Request (SAR) Program as outlined in the attached SAR document. A SAR package contains all of the technical data needed to demonstrate that the prospective contractor can competently manufacture the product to the same level of quality, or better, than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The onus is on the contractor to document and demonstrate their product is equal to, or better, than the currently approved item which DLA Aviation is procuring. (Note: To submit your SAR please send an email to: dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil, subject” request a SAR drop off”.  After we receive your email request a “request for drop off” will be returned, where you can download your file.  Include CAGE code, the NSN, and the email address where you want to receive the link.  For guidance on completing a SAR package, please review the Source Approval Handbook. Current procurements will not be held pending review; therefore, any actions will be for future procurements or strategic efforts.)
