KC-46 Landing Gear Spares

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking information to develop a 10-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for the purchase of KC-46 Landing Gear National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs). The contract will be for the supply of spare parts for the KC-46 aircraft, which provides global, all-weather, day-and-night aerial refueling for receiver-capable U.S., allied, and coalition military aircraft. The RFI is seeking feedback from industry on the topics of company information, manufacturing and qualification, production lead time, pricing strategy, risk mitigation, and diminishing sources. • The KC-46 aircraft requires ongoing procurement support for end-item and sub-component spares to ensure asset availability and long-term readiness. • The RFI includes a list of NIINs for KC-46 landing gear spares, which may be modified prior to the formal solicitation. • The government is seeking feedback on the feasibility of securing fixed pricing for up to 5 years and the potential risks in developing this strategy. • The RFI also seeks information on the manufacturing capacity, production lead time, and pricing strategy of potential contractors.
