Bid Snapshot: SPE4A525T600D — 66 TRANSMITTER, LIQUID (DLA Aviation)

Executive takeaway

DLA Aviation posted a requirement titled “66--TRANSMITTER,LIQUID” under solicitation SPE4A525T600D (NAICS 334519). The public record provides no description snippet, so the practical path is to treat this as a spec-driven supply requirement: confirm the exact item identifiers in the solicitation/attachments, validate sourcing (including any approved source restrictions), and respond with documentation that demonstrates conformance.

What the buyer is trying to do

The buyer is seeking a liquid transmitter (PSC 66) through DLA Aviation. Based on the title and NAICS, this is likely an instrumentation component procurement where compliance to precise part characteristics (and potentially qualified sources) matters more than narrative approach.

What work is implied (bullets)

• Identify the exact transmitter configuration required (part number, salient characteristics, and any approved manufacturer/source constraints) (verify in attachments).
• Confirm packaging, labeling, inspection, and acceptance requirements (verify in attachments).
• Validate delivery expectations and shipping terms (verify in attachments).
• Prepare product compliance documentation (datasheets, equivalency justification if allowed, traceability) (verify in attachments).
• Submit an offer aligned to DLA Aviation instructions, including any required representations and certifications (verify in attachments).

Who should bid / who should pass (bullets)

• Bid if you regularly supply electronic/measuring/control instrumentation products under NAICS 334519 and can source a compliant liquid transmitter with verifiable documentation.
• Bid if you can meet spec-driven requirements where brand/part number compliance may be strict (common in aviation logistics supply).
• Pass if you cannot access the solicitation details/attachments needed to confirm the exact item and compliance requirements.
• Pass if you rely on substitutions but cannot support equivalency with complete technical documentation (or if substitutions are not permitted) (verify in attachments).

Response package checklist (bullets; if unknown say 'verify in attachments')

• Completed quote/offer per solicitation instructions (verify in attachments).
• Exact part number/manufacturer identification (or approved equivalent if permitted) (verify in attachments).
• Product datasheet/cut sheet demonstrating compliance to required characteristics (verify in attachments).
• Country of origin and any required traceability documentation (verify in attachments).
• Packaging/marking compliance statement (verify in attachments).
• Delivery lead time and shipping terms as requested (verify in attachments).
• Any required certifications/representations for DLA submissions (verify in attachments).

Pricing & strategy notes (how to research pricing; do not invent pricing numbers)

With no description in the public snippet, pricing work should start with technical validation. Then:

• Use the solicitation number SPE4A525T600D and the exact part identifiers from the attachments to benchmark market pricing from authorized/known distributors.
• Check recent internal sales history for the same part number or equivalent configuration (if applicable) to set a defensible baseline.
• Separate unit cost drivers (manufacturer price, calibration/testing if applicable) from fulfillment drivers (packaging, lead time, expedited freight).
• If the buyer allows alternates, price both: (1) exact specified item and (2) alternate solution—only if the solicitation explicitly permits it (verify in attachments).

Subcontracting / teaming ideas (bullets)

• Team with an authorized distributor or manufacturer channel partner to strengthen source verification and documentation quality.
• Use a logistics/packaging specialist familiar with DLA packaging and marking expectations if those requirements are stringent (verify in attachments).
• If calibration, testing, or inspection documentation is required, consider partnering with a lab/service provider aligned to the transmitter’s technology (verify in attachments).

Risks & watch-outs (bullets)

• Missing details in the public notice: the description snippet is unavailable, so you must rely on the full solicitation and attachments to avoid misquoting.
• Approved source / exact item risk: aviation logistics buys can be restrictive on acceptable manufacturers and part numbers (verify in attachments).
• Documentation gaps: inability to provide traceability, datasheets, or compliance statements can make an otherwise competitive price non-responsive (verify in attachments).
• Deadline uncertainty: the response deadline is not shown in the provided record—confirm immediately in the solicitation system/attachments.
