What the government is buying
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation Philadelphia is soliciting bids for a SHROUD SEGMENT, TURB — a component for turbine engines used in military aircraft. DLA Aviation manages the supply chain for aviation spare parts across the Department of Defense, procuring items to maintain and repair military aircraft fleets.
Shroud segments in turbine engines typically serve as structural or aerodynamic components surrounding rotating turbine sections, protecting adjacent hardware and optimizing airflow. These parts must meet stringent military specifications for durability and performance given the extreme operating conditions of military turbine engines.
This is a straightforward parts procurement by a DLA buying activity, not a service contract or complex system integration. The classification code 2840 confirms this falls under "Gas Turbines and Jet Engines; Non-Aircraft Prime Mover, Aircraft Non-Prime Mover, and Components" in the federal supply classification system.

Who can bid
This is a full and open competition with no set-aside. Any qualified business—large or small—may submit an offer. The NAICS code 336412 corresponds to Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, which carries a Small Business Administration size standard of 1,500 employees. If your business operates in this industry and falls below that threshold, you qualify as a small business, though this particular opportunity is not restricted to small business participation.
To bid, your firm must be registered in SAM.gov (System for Award Management) and have the appropriate NAICS code in your profile. See the solicitation for any additional requirements such as:
- DLA's qualification as an approved supplier
- Past performance requirements for aerospace parts
- Quality certifications (AS9100, ISO 9001, or military-specific)
- Source inspection or first article testing provisions
How to put together a competitive bid
For DLA Aviation parts procurements, competitiveness hinges on price, delivery, and compliance with technical specifications. Consider these specifics:
Technical compliance: Obtain the full solicitation to review the military specification (MS or MIL-SPEC) and engineering drawing requirements. DLA procurements reference detailed technical data; deviations typically require pre-approval. Verify your manufacturing process can produce to the exact material, dimension, and performance standards specified.
Pricing strategy: DLA maintains historical pricing data and often awards to lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) offers. Research recent awards for similar NSN items in the DLA Aviation supply chain. Factor in raw material costs for superalloys or specialized coatings commonly required in turbine components.
Delivery schedule: The solicitation will specify required delivery date(s). Assess your production capacity honestly—DLA tracks delivery performance rigorously, and late deliveries affect future eligibility.
Quality documentation: Be prepared to submit material certifications, test reports, and traceability documentation. Turbine engine components typically require detailed quality records.
Past performance: If you lack DLA Aviation experience, highlight comparable commercial aerospace or defense work.
