About this file

This Sources Sought Notice is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center (ILSC) to conduct market research for procuring Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) cables. The agency intends to acquire 500 units each of two specific National Stock Number (NSN) cable assemblies: 6150-01-700-9145 (120V) and 6150-01-700-9148 (240V), which will support the Combat Service Support Very Small Aperture Terminal (CSS-VSAT) AN/TSC-183A weapon system.

The solicitation seeks manufacturers or suppliers capable of providing these specialized power cables with specific technical requirements, including a 12.5 ft wall outlet end, NEMA 5-15 plug, and operating temperature range of -35C to 66C. Interested vendors must submit responses by April 1, 2025, via email to Kenneth M. Vereb (kenneth.m.vereb2.civ@army.mil), including company information, CAGE code, and contact details. This market research is purely for planning purposes, will not result in an immediate contract award, and may be used to determine potential small business set-aside opportunities or competitive acquisition strategies.
