DLA Aviation RFQs: engine components and fasteners (some SBA set-aside) — what to bid and how to respond

DLA Aviation posted multiple RFQs spanning NSN engine parts (compressor disk, turbine blade set, motor/parts kit) and hardware/fasteners with potential Automated IDC structures. Most are electronic-only quotes with limited specs in the notice, so your bid/no-bid hinges on approved-source status, access to drawings/specs in attachments, and your ability to meet long ADO delivery windows to DLA Distribution/depot networks.
