DLA Aviation has issued a solicitation which will result in an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) for supply of fairings (NSN 1560-00-738-0791) for the KC-135 aircraft.  The resulting contract will last for five years ordering an estimated quantity of 200 units over that time.  The Boeing part number for this item is 65-1257-19.  Technical data is available for this item so new companies can compete.

The last company to supply this item to the military was Aerometals, Inc. which sold 24 units for $2,672ea.  The only other supplier in the last 20 years was IBP consulting which sent in a single unit (likely first article). Recent solicitations for this item have received only one offer.

We estimate the value of this contract at $534,000.  Vendors have 365 days from order to delivery of goods.

All offers are due by March 24, 2025.
