The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency, is conducting a Sources Sought notice to identify potential sources for the procurement of spare parts for the C-130 aircraft, specifically the linear direct valve (NSN: 4810-00-208-9709). The initiative aims to gather information on businesses capable of providing the necessary labor, materials, and logistics management for manufacturing these components, with a focus on engaging diverse suppliers, including small and disadvantaged businesses. This effort underscores the Air Force's commitment to maintaining operational readiness and effective acquisition strategies, although it does not represent a solicitation or guarantee of a contract, as no funds are currently available. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit their business information to the primary contact, 423 SCMS, at 423.SCMS.AFMC.RFI@us.af.mil.
