Description
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support – Richmond is conducting market research for a potential long‑term sole‑source contract to manage the F135 propulsion system supply chain and provide programmatic forecasting, logistics, and ancillary services for both consumable and depot‑level repairable spare parts. The effort would cover roughly 2,000 DLA‑managed common NIINs and about 2,700 non‑NSN engine components, with a base period of five years and an option for an additional five years (total up to ten years). The Government seeks capability statements from interested firms, emphasizing experience with F‑35 engine sustainment, access to proprietary data, and willingness to provide long‑term pricing and cost data.
• Scope: Comprehensive supply‑chain management, demand forecasting, and logistics support for F135 engine parts.
• Population: ~2,000 common NIINs + ~2,700 non‑NSN components (≈5,200 items).
• Contract type: Sole‑source, requirements‑type contract (potentially $200 M–$1.5 B).
• Period of performance: 5‑year base + 5‑year option (up to 10 years).
• Required response: Capability statement (≤20 pages) submitted electronically by 09/14/2026.
• Target contractor: Raytheon Technologies/Pratt & Whitney (CAGE 52661/77445) – but other firms may express interest.
• Evaluation criteria: Experience with 5th‑Gen propulsion sustainment, access to proprietary engineering data, transition plan, and ability to provide certified cost data.
