DLA Aviation is looking for more companies to compete for supply of this polypropylene cargo net. It includes four 10 foot ropes installed on quick-tie tie-downs.
Currently, there is only one supplier, Networks Enterprises, Inc. The manufacturer’s part number is C42-8080-4AQESS. It was last supplied for $168.88 in quantity of 221.
The military anticipates purchasing 1,132 of these nets each year at an estimated cost of $262,182. This is based on DLA’s single unit cost of $232 each.
The military is so interested in finding additional suppliers for this item that they are making samples available to be reverse engineered. Technical drawings are also available.
