DLA Aviation has issued a solicitation which will result in a five year contract for supply of cable assemblies that include an inline GFCI. Technical data is available on this item and the response date is a month from today. This gives new contractors time to acquire the drawings and decide if they can produce it.
The cable assembly, NSN 6150-01-598-9748 is part of a utility receipt NSN 6150-01-208-9751. DLA anticipates annual demand at 1,190 with a total estimated quantity of 5,950 units.

This solicitation is set-aside for disabled veterans. If you qualify you have the advantage of a smaller pool of potential competitors than open competition. The last awardee is a disabled veteran. It’s worth mentioning that sometimes a solicitation is set-aside for a group that doesn’t submit any quotes, later making that bid available to open competition. Always check the incumbent contractor to make sure they qualify for the set-aside.
All offers are due by August 18, 2025.
