What the government is buying
DLA Aviation at Oklahoma City is soliciting bids for an F100 Core Module Container, End Item. This is Department of Defense supply chain work: DLA Aviation manages procurement and logistics for aircraft parts and related equipment across military services.
The item carries NSN 8145-01-452-4579 and part number P4078843. NAICS 336412 covers Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing. Core module containers are specialized shipping and storage enclosures designed to protect aircraft engine components during transport and depot-level maintenance cycles. These containers typically feature engineered cushioning, environmental sealing, and handling provisions to prevent damage to high-value turbine engine sections.
Given DLA Aviation's role as a inventory control point, this acquisition likely supports replenishment of the defense supply system rather than a one-off purchase. Contractors should expect military packaging, labeling, and quality requirements. See the solicitation for specifications, quantities, and any depot-level repair considerations.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no small business set-aside. Any responsible offeror—large or small—that can meet the technical, quality, and delivery requirements may submit a bid.
Small businesses in NAICS 336412 are eligible to participate. The SBA size standard for this NAICS is typically 1,500 employees; confirm current standards at SBA.gov. DLA's prime vendor and long-term contract programs sometimes favor established aviation suppliers with existing defense logistics experience, though new entrants with genuine manufacturing capability are not excluded.
Be prepared to demonstrate: manufacturing or sourcing capacity for aerospace-qualified containers; ability to meet military specifications (likely MIL-STD or DLA-specific); and acceptable past performance or financial responsibility. See the solicitation for any required certifications, quality system standards (AS9100 may apply), or source approval requirements.
How to put together a competitive bid
Manufacturing and technical compliance: Core module containers for turbine engines demand precise fit, fire-resistant materials, and shock/vibration mitigation. Review the NSN and part number data in the solicitation against your existing designs or sourcing relationships. If you are a distributor rather than manufacturer, confirm your supply chain's willingness to support DLA terms.
Quality assurance: DLA Aviation typically requires compliance with ISO 9001 or AS9100 quality management systems. First article inspection or source inspection at your facility may apply. Document your inspection capabilities and any prior DLA or military approvals.
Pricing strategy: Full and open competition means price competitiveness is critical. Research historical prices for this NSN through DLA's Customer Interaction Center or FPDS reports. Factor in Special Packaging Instructions, likely barcoding and RFID requirements, and freight to the designated depot.
Past performance: Prepare references from similar aerospace container or engine support contracts. DLA evaluates recent, relevant, and reliable performance data.
Registration and systems: Ensure SAM.gov registration is active, you have a valid CAGE code, and you're registered in DLA's procurement systems if electronic submission is required.
