About this file

This document is a Sources Sought notice from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime for a Steer Section & Brake Assembly with National Stock Number (NSN) 2530-00-008-3727. Currently, Ronal Industries Inc. is the only approved source for manufacturing this part, with part number 2587730. The DLA is seeking potential alternative manufacturers through their Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires interested companies to submit a comprehensive application package demonstrating their ability to produce the part at equal or better quality than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

The document specifies that the government does not own the technical data rights for this part and has determined it would be uneconomical to purchase these rights or reverse engineer the component. Companies interested in becoming an approved source must submit their SAR package directly to Contract Specialist William Perez (william.perez@dla.mil), who will review their technical documentation. The SAR package must comprehensively prove the prospective contractor's manufacturing capabilities, with the burden of proof lying with the potential new source to demonstrate product equivalence or superiority.
