DLA Aviation has issued a solicitation for fiberglass electrical tape (NSN 5970-00-814-9606). This solicitation will result in an IQC (Indefinite Quantity Contract) to consist of guaranteed quantities for DLA Customer Direct Locations (CONUS, OCONUS and FMS). Delivery orders may be placed for a Base Period consisting of five (5) Years.
The item description is as follows:
GLASS FIBER, SILICON ADHESIVE COATED
3.000 IN. WIDE, 36 YD. LG, 0.010 IN. THICK
Complies with mil-spec MIL-I-19166
The last company to supply this item to the military was Aircraft & Commercial Enterprises (CAGE 8Z281) which sold for $97.65 in quantity of 36. This order was an “emergency contracting support branch requirement” which means “ship by fastest traceable means”. Pricing is all over the place, but a more realistic comparable was an order for 4,979 rolls at $58.25 per roll.
The government anticipates ordering 6,077 rolls each year over the five year contract. Based on this and an analysis of procurement history pricing we estimate the value of this contract at $1.7 Million.
All offers are due by April 17, 2025.
