Quick Summary
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support is conducting a Sources Sought / Request for Information (RFI) to identify potential alternative sources for Meggitt Aircraft Braking System (MABS) consumable and Depot Level Reparable (DLR) spare parts. This market research aims to determine if other companies can manufacture or legitimately obtain items currently sole-sourced to MABS. The DLA intends to renew existing long-term contracts with MABS, but seeks to foster competition for 429 initial National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and potentially more. Responses are due by May 18, 2026.
Scope of Work
This RFI focuses on identifying sources for a wide range of spare parts, primarily related to aircraft wheel and brake systems (PSC 1630), currently supplied by Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems (MABS) under CAGEs 0B9R9, 21849, and K1037. The attached spreadsheets detail specific parts by Federal Supply Class (FSC), National Item Identification Number (NIIN), Part Number, CAGE code (notably '0B9R9' in the updated list), and Nomenclature (e.g., PLATE,BACKING,BRAKE; DISC,BRAKE; SEAL,PLAIN). The government procures these items on a part-number basis and does not possess technical data, making the Source Approval Request (SAR) process critical for new suppliers.
