The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Oklahoma City, is seeking proposals for a firm fixed-price contract for the procurement of fuel cells for the KC-135 aircraft. The contract will cover an estimated quantity of 51 units over a three-year period, with specific delivery requirements of 12 units in the first year, 11 in the second, and 11 in the third, all to be delivered by October 1, 2025. These fuel cells are critical components for inflight refueling operations, and the government intends to solicit and negotiate with a limited number of sources, specifically American Fuel Cell and Coated Fabrics Company and Meggitt (Rockmart), due to the specialized nature of the requirements. Interested parties should note that the solicitation is expected to be issued on November 26, 2024, with responses due by January 10, 2025, and the anticipated award date is March 31, 2025. For further inquiries, potential offerors can contact David Garcia at 405-739-5501 or via email at david.garcia.59@us.af.mil.
