The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, is preparing to issue a Letter Request for Proposal (RFP) for the procurement of sole source spare parts from Parker Hannifin Corporation. This initiative targets a total of 280 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) associated with various weapon systems and operational platforms, with the intent to award the contract solely to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) due to their approved status as the source of supply. Interested non-OEM suppliers and surplus dealers are encouraged to express their interest and provide documentation demonstrating their capability to supply the required items, as the government may consider alternative acquisition strategies if beneficial. The anticipated timeline for this procurement includes an open date of September 9, 2024, and a closing date of October 10, 2024. For further inquiries, interested parties may contact Kenya Allamby at kenya.allamby@dla.mil or by phone at 804-279-3716.
