DLA Aviation has announced that they would like to see more competition for this dial pressure gauge. This gauge, NSN 6685-00-684-1667 is 2″ in diameter with a range of 0 to 4,000 PSI. The actuating element is made of beryllium copper. For the last 10 years only one company has supplied this item to the military, so DLA has decided that they would like to see more competitors.
The gauge is used in the F-16, KC-130 and C-130 Hercules aircraft. It complies with military specification MIL-DTL-25308.
There is no current solicitation for the item, but DLA orders 294 of these gauges each year with an estimated total landed cost of $188,586. They were last sold to the military by Q.E.D., Inc for $446.50 each in quantity of 99. DLA anticipates continued demand for this item.
Technical data and drawings are not available but DLA is so interested in finding competition that they are making samples available to companies that wish to reverse-engineer this item.
