DLA Aviation has announced that they are looking for more companies to compete to supply this position transducer used in the B-52 aircraft. The price per unit has risen from $1,716 each in 2009 to $38,499 in 2020, which likely inspired DLA to seek other vendors.
These transducers were last supplied by Transaero, Inc. Other suppliers include Freedom Airparts, and Moog, Inc. DLA estimates annual demand at 34 units, which has increased from 24 in mid 2020. The government estimates that it will spend $1.9 Million on this item next year if no additional competition is found.
DLA is so interested in finding competition that they are making samples available for companies to reverse engineer. This part is perfect for aircraft part manufacturers and machine shops to generate consistent income.
