What the government is buying
This is a new manufacture procurement for a B-1 Fluid Filter Body with National Stock Number (NSN) 1650-01-204-6227. The NSN 1650 prefix indicates this falls within Federal Supply Class 1650, which covers aircraft hydraulic, vacuum, and de-icing system components. The B-1 designation refers to the B-1 Lancer, a strategic supersonic heavy bomber operated by the U.S. Air Force. Fluid filter bodies are structural housing components that contain filtration media for hydraulic or lubrication systems critical to aircraft operation.
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Oklahoma City manages this requirement. DLA Aviation serves as the primary supply chain manager for military aircraft parts, supporting weapon system sustainment across all branches. New manufacture contracts in this category typically involve producing items to approved technical data packages, which may include military specifications, drawings, and quality requirements.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside used, meaning all responsible sources may submit offers regardless of business size or socioeconomic status. However, the NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) carries a small business size standard of 1,250 employees, so small businesses meeting this threshold remain eligible to compete alongside large businesses.
Prospective offerors must typically demonstrate capabilities in aerospace manufacturing, including adherence to quality management systems appropriate for defense aerospace work. Given the NSN and military application, this likely requires production to military specifications with associated certifications. See the solicitation for specific facility requirements, past performance criteria, and any mandatory qualifications.
How to put together a competitive bid
For aircraft component manufacturing with DLA Aviation, competitive bids generally require attention to several areas:
Technical data package compliance: Obtain and review the complete technical data package referenced in the solicitation. DLA new manufacture contracts require strict conformance to approved drawings and specifications. Verify your capability to produce to the exact materials, dimensions, tolerances, and finishing requirements specified.
Quality systems: Aerospace military work typically requires AS9100 certification or equivalent quality management systems. Determine whether the solicitation specifies particular quality accreditations, source inspection requirements, or first article testing provisions. See the solicitation for exact quality requirements.
Pricing structure: Develop pricing based on material costs, specialized tooling, minimum order quantities, and any economic order quantity considerations. DLA solicitations often include historical demand data or estimated annual requirements—see the solicitation for quantity and delivery schedule details.
Past performance: Prepare relevant past performance references from similar aircraft component manufacturing, particularly for DLA or other defense customers. Performance on prior NSN new manufacture contracts carries significant weight in DLA evaluations.
Small business factors: Even without a set-aside, evaluate whether subcontracting opportunities with large primes or teaming arrangements could strengthen your position, particularly if you lack certain manufacturing capabilities or certifications.
