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, which is anticipated to span three years, involves an estimated total of 243 units, with specific delivery requirements of 87 units in the first year, 37 in the second, and 36 in the third, all to be delivered on or before October 1, 2025. These fuel cells are critical for inflight refueling operations, and the government intends to solicit and negotiate with a limited number of sources 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.
