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, specifically for the KC-135 aircraft. The contract will cover an estimated quantity of 245 units over three years, with deliveries required by October 1, 2025, and a maximum of 55 units in the first year, 54 in the second, and 54 in the third. 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 requirement. 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.
