Summary

AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025

Piston/Cylinder Assembly for FA-18 aircraft (A–D, E/F, G Growler): production of 113 each, with a firm fixed price contract. Deliver 365 days from award FOB destination with inspection and acceptance at origin. The contractor must be capable of full manufacture and associated activities (labor, materials, testing, preservation/packaging, and shipping), and may handle related supply chain management and logistics. The posting indicates DLA Direct will issue the formal procurement via the DIBBS system, and responses to capability inquiries are being sought to assess market capacity; potential for small-business set-aside or full and open competition remains a possibility depending on market responses.

Change since the initial notice: market research identified a potential competitive path and noted no solicitation yet, but the presolicitation confirms a formal, noncompetitive (other than full and open) procurement for 113 units, with a production delivery schedule of 365 days, and a DIBBS-issued solicitation expected. There will be a single award under a firm fixed price contract, with the solicitation and details downloadable from DIBBS rather than provided as a paper copy.
