The contract is set-aside for small businesses and the last company to supply these is a large corporation with 1,500+ employees. This presents an opportunity for someone new to win this contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This harness NSN 6150-01-064-4317 has 3 branches with straight lugs and mounting holes. It is 42.50 inches long and connects to the 370 gallon external tank.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last company to supply these to the military was Newvac, LLC which sold them for $1,670 each in quantity of 42.  Prior sales from 2018 &#8211; 2023 were sold for $400 each.  Because the incumbent contractor is a large business they are disqualified from bidding on this RFP.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on past procurement history pricing we estimate the value of this contract at $425,850. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more, log into BidLink and put SPE4A6-27-R-X091 into Search for Anything at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tired of DIBBS \/ SAM and bid services that don\u2019t understand defense contracting? &nbsp;Try BidLink for free at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bidlink.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.bidlink.net.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DLA Aviation has issued a solicitation which will result in a five year contract to supply wiring harnesses used on the F-16.
