TitleDRAFT RFP - Landing Gear Collaborative Supply Chain Integration IILanding Gear Collaborative Supply Chain Integration IIResponse deadline2026-06-30T22:00:00+00:002026-08-05T22:00:00+00:00DescriptionThis posting is to share information from a question asked by an interested party along with the Government response: Contractor Comments/Recommendations Upon reviewing the draft solicitation again, it was realized clause C09 was added with a cap of 50%. The Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) Producer Price Index for Industries (PPI) PCU33641333641372 for Other Aircraft Parts and Equipment Manufacturing: Aircraft Landing Gear for Civilian and Military Aircraft is a real, reasonable, quantitative reflection of current and past market conditions. The PPI is derived from consolidating hundreds of thousands of economic data time series from scores of national, international, public, and private sources. Placing a ceiling cap on a publicly maintained PPI based on real economic data would render the price paid by the government unreasonable and unfair. Accordingly, it is recommended that clause C09 and H-001 of the LGCSCI II solicitation be amended as follows: Clause C09: Remove section (d) of contract clause C09 in its entirety (including subsections (d)(1) and (d)(2)). Clause H001: Remove section 2(c) in its entirety. Remove the last two and a half sentences from 2(d) where it currently states " , but the payment is capped. The 50% cap on this H-clause adjustment is $515 (50% of the $1,030 escalated forging price). Therefore, the Government's maximum payment would be $515." GOVERNMENT RESPONSE Clause C09: The intended PPI index for the CSCI2 effort is PCU3364-3364-- as shown in (b)(1) of the C09 clause in the most recent draft RFP document. Per the attached language at (d), the upward ceiling does not apply to this index. As a result, the language regarding a cap does not apply in (d), (d)(1), or (d)(2). An error was made on the most recent draft by including a % cap for an index below the six-digit level. The language is slightly counterintuitive as it relates to the index numbering, but PCU3364-3364-is considered "above the six-digit level." NOTE: The "Instructions" tab on the TEP Worksheet will be updated to reflect PCU3364-3364-for the final RFP. Clause H-001: The government believes the clause as written to supplement the C09 is adequate to account for most forging price fluctuations that may be encountered. The forging price that bidders will provide with their proposals for each unit requiring a forging will be escalated each year in accordance with the C09 clause. That escalated forging price (in the year delivery order was issued) will be used as the baseline for any forging cost price adjustments. As such, the forging baseline will theoretically increase with the PCU3364-3364-index over time and provide an initial degree of protection against broad market inflation. With a layer of escalation already applied to the forging price, the clause can then adjust to account for any additional unforeseen spikes in forging costs. The 50% cap identified within the H-001 clause is designed to create a shared-risk environment. The cap allows the government to maintain some level of budget predictability while still offering substantial financial relief for extraordinary cost increases provided the conditions are met in section 3 of the clause.General Information Document Type: Presolicitation Notice (Synopsis) Solicitation Number: SPRHA1-26-R-1003 Posted Date: 21 July 2026 Original Response Date: 5 August 2026 Product or Service Code (PSC): 1620 (other landing gear components included) NAICS Code: 336413 - Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing Set-Aside Status: 100% Small Business Set-Aside Contracting Office Information Agency: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Office: DLA Aviation at Ogden Location: Hill Air Force Base, UT Description / Narrative In accordance with FAR 5.201, FAR 5.203, and FAR 5.207, this presolicitation notice serves as the official synopsis of the proposed contract action detailed below.

Response deadline2026-06-15T22:00:00+00:002026-06-30T22:00:00+00:00DescriptionThis notice is posted to communicate questions and answers that arose from the most recent Draft RFP posting for this effort. The questions/answers from the most recent posting are below: Industry Comment/Question: Section J. FAR 52.232-16 - Progress Payments and Alternate I, are included. Progress Payments will be limited to the costs of forged items. Recommend the verbiage be adjusted to say "limited to forged and long lead items." Government Response: Recommended verbiage will be used Industry Comment/Question: H-001 Supplemental Price Adjustment for Forgings 16 April 2026 1. Will there be any flexibility in funding additional forging costs if the price exceeds the cap rate of 50%? If not, it will likely affect pricing integrity. 2. Regarding the Informal Cost Analysis, the majority of these forgings are sole-source items, making meaningful cost comparisons very difficult to provide. Request the government re-consider. Government Response: The Government will adhere to the 50% cap established in the clause. The annual price escalation provided via Procurement Note C09, combined with the 50% forging price adjustment allowance are the appropriate mechanisms for managing price fluctuations on this effort. Section 3 of H-001 does not explicitly mandate a cost comparison. The "market comparison" cited in the clause is provided merely as an example of acceptable supporting documentation to support a fair and reasonable forging price. The prime contractor may submit other forms of pricing support as appropriate. Industry Comment/Question: 52.219-14 LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING (DEVIATION 2021-O0008) 1. Want to clarify that the SB threshold is the term of the contract and not by individual order. Recommend the government check the box which states "By the end of the base term of the contract and then by the end of each subsequent option period." Government Response: Agreed, the government intent is for the term of the contract and not by individual order. The box referenced will be checked in the final RFP on the referenced clause. Industry Comment/Question: TRD 4.6.7 Forging Die Condition and Location "Delays due to die refurbishment will not be considered cause for OTD metric relief." Recommend the Government reconsider relief for this metric, as there are circumstances beyond a contractor's control that can significantly impact delivery performance. Forging wear isn't an exact science and no amount of planning can always avoid delays due to die refurbishment. One scenario: At baseline proposal, you are given a quote where the forging doesn't require a die refurbishment so your PLT is based around that quote. The forging die has now been used on a few runs and now requires a refurbishment. The baseline PLT was based on the forging quote that showed no delivery for a die refurbishment. Another scenario: You are running forgings and half-way thru manufacturing the die needs refurbishment. This was not something that could have been foreseen beforehand and out of everyone's control so the lead time on a quote you were previously given has changed. Government Response: The Government's position remains unchanged; delays due to die refurbishment will not be considered grounds for On-Time Delivery (OTD) or Days Late metric relief. Bidders are expected to account for the inherent risks of manufacturing, including potential die wear and necessary refurbishments, when establishing realistic Production Lead Times (PLTs). The Government requires dependable PLTs to ensure parts are received within the contracted timeframe with a high degree of confidence, inclusive of any required die maintenance or replacement.DLA plans to release the official RFP in the very near future. If your company would like to receive the bid set data for this requirement, please submit to the contracting officer at your earliest convenience your company's mailing address.

The prime contractor may submit other forms of pricing support as appropriate. Industry Comment/Question: 52.219-14 LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING (DEVIATION 2021-O0008) 1. Want to clarify that the SB threshold is the term of the contract and not by individual order. Recommend the government check the box which states "By the end of the base term of the contract and then by the end of each subsequent option period." Government Response: Agreed, the government intent is for the term of the contract and not by individual order. The box referenced will be checked in the final RFP on the referenced clause. Industry Comment/Question: TRD 4.6.7 Forging Die Condition and Location "Delays due to die refurbishment will not be considered cause for OTD metric relief." Recommend the Government reconsider relief for this metric, as there are circumstances beyond a contractor's control that can significantly impact delivery performance. Forging wear isn't an exact science and no amount of planning can always avoid delays due to die refurbishment. One scenario: At baseline proposal, you are given a quote where the forging doesn't require a die refurbishment so your PLT is based around that quote. The forging die has now been used on a few runs and now requires a refurbishment. The baseline PLT was based on the forging quote that showed no delivery for a die refurbishment. Another scenario: You are running forgings and half-way thru manufacturing the die needs refurbishment. This was not something that could have been foreseen beforehand and out of everyone's control so the lead time on a quote you were previously given has changed. Government Response: The Government's position remains unchanged; delays due to die refurbishment will not be considered grounds for On-Time Delivery (OTD) or Days Late metric relief. Bidders are expected to account for the inherent risks of manufacturing, including potential die wear and necessary refurbishments, when establishing realistic Production Lead Times (PLTs). The Government requires dependable PLTs to ensure parts are received within the contracted timeframe with a high degree of confidence, inclusive of any required die maintenance or replacement.
