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.

A cluster of DLA Aviation/DLA Land & Maritime RFQs under NAICS 336412 signals near-term demand for specific NSN parts with “approved source” constraints and electronic-only quoting. This post highlights what’s implied, who should bid, and how to package a compliant response.
