Market Pulse

A cluster of DLA Aviation Richmond buys is hitting the street with electronic quote submission and, in several cases, tight response windows. If you can meet NSN-driven requirements and manage long ADO delivery schedules, there are multiple bite-sized awards to chase this week.

A tight cluster of NAICS 332510 opportunities is live: multiple DLA/Navy supply buys in PSC 53/5340 and one GSA brand-name-or-equal RFQ for a Hammerhead racking system with MIL-STD-129 labeling and strict admin-compliance gates. If you can quote fast, comply with markings, and source approved parts where required, there’s near-term pursuit value.

DLA Aviation is seeking electronic quotes for a small-quantity structural aircraft panel buy (two line items, 1 each) delivering to DLA Distribution Warner Robins at different ADO delivery points. Responses are due Feb 12, 2026.

This award-watch round includes a Coast Guard RFQ for cathodic protection reference electrodes with strict MIL-STD packaging/marking and a quick turnaround, plus several DoD supply actions ranging from full TDP competitive manufacturing (butterfly valve) to approved-source/sole-source dynamics (air conditioner and a DLA structural component).

A fast-moving mix this week: two large DoD sources sought/draft efforts worth positioning for (COMET and MTCCS III), plus several near-term RFQs/repair actions and supply buys with immediate deadlines. This post highlights what’s implied, who should lean in, and how to respond without guessing beyond the notices.

Two near-term Coast Guard SFLC buys stand out for small businesses that can meet strict MIL-STD packaging and barcoding: 50 Cathelco reference electrodes and 10 Geopal refrigerant gas detectors, both due Feb 12. This pulse also flags a brand-name DI water system, made-to-order mooring lines, and several Navy NAVSUP WSS parts actions where data rights and inspection requirements drive bid/no-bid decisions.

DLA Aviation is issuing multiple small, parts-focused solicitations—from an NSN structural aircraft panel with staged delivery to hardware and cable/sonar items with limited public descriptions. If you’re an approved/traceable source with strong fulfillment and compliance discipline, there’s near-term quoting opportunity here.

Three active notices coded under NAICS 336611 point to very different realities: a straightforward made-to-order mooring line manufacture/delivery for USCGC MUNRO, a Coast Guard notice of intent to sole source thruster system field service, and a DLA RFQ for an NSN modification kit with an approved source. Here’s how to decide where to spend bid effort—and where to conserve it.

A quick analyst read on several DLA Aviation solicitations—what they imply, who they fit, and how to package a quote when details are thin and attachments matter.

This week’s watchlist includes a total small business set-aside buy for new/unused surplus C-5 electro-mechanical actuators with a 30-day ARO delivery requirement, several DLA NSN RFQs with limited data/drawings, a photogrammetric mapping MATOC IDIQ, and a major USACE hangar construction procurement using a bifurcated best-value process (estimated $250M–$500M).

Several DoD buy-side actions are at (or past) same-day deadlines, plus a Navy generator maintenance RFQ with a later close and two sizable sources-sought efforts. Here’s what’s implied, who should bid, and how to package a fast response without guessing at missing attachment details.

This pulse covers seven SBA set-aside notices posted Feb 6, 2026, spanning DLA NSN parts (including potential automated IDC ordering), a USMC utility vehicle requirement, Army packaging materials, and a USDA lab instrument notice. Several are RFQs with electronic submission and limited technical data availability—so source approval, TDP access, and lead times are the make-or-break items.

A cluster of DLA Land & Maritime RFQs—several with SBA set-asides and potential Automated IDC structures—focused on NSN-based spare parts with electronic-only submissions and, in some cases, limited technical data availability.

A cluster of NAICS 335312 notices posted Feb 6, 2026 points to steady demand for electric motors (buy and repair) plus a related resolver buy. Expect approved-source constraints on DLA buys, tighter technical/QA requirements on NAVSUP WSS repairs (GSI, RTAT), and fully electronic quoting.

DLA Aviation is seeking electronic quotes for NSN 6150-01-145-3355 (wiring harness). Two delivery lines are called out, both shipping to the Government of Israel with different required delivery timelines. Here’s what’s implied, who should chase it, and how to package a clean RFQ response.

A quick analyst read on a Fermilab construction subcontract, multiple DLA part buys, a Navy repair requirement, a VA scope leasing RFP, a JBMDL wastewater/grease removal sources sought, and a Coast Guard IDIQ capacity modification notice—plus bid/skip guidance, response checklists, and watch-outs.

A quick triage of federal opportunities with near-term or time-sensitive action—what’s implied, who should bid, and what to watch before you spend proposal dollars.

A quick capture-focused read on eight small-business set-aside opportunities—from Coast Guard exterior door refurbishment to VA building energy maintenance, USACE waste pumping, and multiple DOD supply buys—plus bid/no-bid filters, response checklist, and pricing research notes.

A clustered set of NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg actions spans repair of circuit card assemblies and procurement of specific OEM-referenced parts (hoses, gaskets, valves), plus a data-limited barometer action that signals likely single-source constraints. If you can meet government source inspection and traceability expectations, several of these are straightforward, fast-turn opportunities.

A tight cluster of DLA Maritime and NAVSUP WSS Mechanicsburg actions under NAICS 334412 points to recurring demand for CCAs (including repair/mod activity) plus niche test/maintenance items. Expect firm-fixed-price quoting, WAWF invoicing, strong compliance language (UII, supply chain security), and limited/no technical data—making sourcing provenance and packaging/inspection capability decisive.
