DLA Aviation is looking for more companies to compete to produce this hydraulic pressure gauge. This 2″ diameter dial pressure gauge can measure up to 4,000 PSI with 100 PSI and 1000 PSI increments. The gauge is used in the F-16 and KC-130 Hercules aircraft.
The military estimates annual demand at 347 units each year totaling $220,716 in annual purchases. They believe that there could be more competition for this item, and are taking steps to encourage that. Currently the only supplier over the last 8 years is Q.E.D, Inc. The gauge was last sold for $448.25 each in quantity of 100 units. The manufacturer’s part number is 2000-045-00.
The military is so interested in finding more suppliers for this item that they are making samples available for vendors to reverse engineer. Currently there is no technical data package available.
