How to bid on F110 Case and Vane Assemblies for the Department of Defense
What the Air Force is buying and why it matters
The Department of Defense, specifically the Air Force, is looking for F110 engine case and vane assemblies. They need between 3 and 17 units of NSN 2840-01-687-3807, part number 2215M15G05. These assemblies house four stages of variable geometry HPC stator vanes and two stages of fixed HPC stator vanes, constructed in two matched halves.
The requested delivery date for these items is March 31, 2027, to shipping code SW3211. This is an opportunity for manufacturers or suppliers capable of providing these specific engine components.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This is a Request for Information (RFI) that was published on July 28, 2026. The estimated solicitation issue date is August 13, 2026. Responses to this notice are due by September 14, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET.
The government intends to solicit and compete with a limited number of sources. Information received from this RFI will be used to determine if a competitive procurement is possible beyond the currently known source, GE Aviation.
Who this opportunity suits
This opportunity is suitable for companies with the capability to manufacture or supply F110 engine case and vane assemblies (NSN 2840-01-687-3807, part number 2215M15G05). The government currently identifies GE Aviation as the only known source, so this is particularly relevant for firms that can demonstrate they can meet the exact specifications for these specialized equipment components.
If your firm can satisfy the government's requirement with a commercial item, you should identify your interest and capability to the contracting officer within 15 days of the notice.

Tips for preparing a competitive response
Given that the government currently knows only one source, your response should clearly and thoroughly demonstrate your firm's capability to meet all specified requirements for the F110 case and vane assemblies. Provide detailed information about your manufacturing processes, quality control, and ability to deliver the specified quantity by the March 31, 2027 deadline.
Ensure your response addresses the specific part number (2215M15G05) and NSN (2840-01-687-3807). Highlight any relevant past performance or certifications that validate your expertise in producing complex aerospace engine components. Since the government is not using FAR Part 12 for commercial items, focus on demonstrating your ability to meet the exact non-commercial specifications.
