The Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Philadelphia, is seeking eligible contractors to manufacture aircraft rudders, specifically NSN: 7RH-1560-016919786, P/N: 74A240300-1025, which are critical components for the F/A-18 aircraft. The procurement aims to identify responsible sources capable of providing the necessary labor, materials, and facilities, as the government does not possess the data required for manufacturing these items. Interested parties must submit capability statements within 15 days of the notice publication, and those not already approved as sources will need to provide a Source Approval Request (SAR) package, including detailed technical data and quality assurance documentation, as outlined in the Source Approval Information Brochure for Spares. For further inquiries, contractors can contact Michael Kneble at michael.kneble@dla.mil or call 215-737-5619.
