DLA aviation is looking for companies to compete to produce this cable assembly used in the A-10 and F-16 aircraft. This cable, NSN 6150-01-628-9758 has a manufacturer’s part number of A13091-5. It is managed out of Hill AFB.
Currently there is only one supplier, Thales Defense, which sold this cable to the military for $2,784 ea in quantity of 130. DLA estimates that they will purchase 119 of these cables each year.
The government is so interested in finding additional suppliers that they are making samples of this item available for companies to reverse engineer. There are no drawings or technical documentation available at this time.
There is no current solicitation for this item, but DLA procures it regularly and wants to line up other potential suppliers.
