About this file

This is a Sources Sought Announcement (SSA) issued by the Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center (ILSC) for Tactical Network Transport - On The Move (TNT-OTM) Parts. The solicitation seeks to acquire 50+ Line Replaceable Units (LRUs) manufactured by General Dynamics Mission Systems, including navigation sets, computers, antennas, filters, power supplies, and other electronic components, with NSN numbers ranging from 2330-01-665-4979 to 5985-01-695-1018. These are commercially available parts that are technically specific, with only form, fit, and function identical parts acceptable.

The SSA is structured for market research to determine capable small business partners who can manufacture or supply these specialized parts, with responses due by 4/17/2025. The government does not currently possess the technical data package (TDP) for these parts and is not guaranteeing specific production requirements. Interested vendors are encouraged to submit detailed capability information including company background, past performance, engineering qualifications, obsolescence management processes, and ability to meet government delivery requirements. This is not a formal Request for Proposal, but rather a planning document to assess market capabilities and potential acquisition strategies for future procurement actions.

The purpose of the Sources Sought Notice/Sources Sought Announcement (SSA) is to determine which capable business can perform the requirements of a planned contract. In addition, the request will focus on which small business industry partners can capably provide support.

The customer/procurement coordinator will request information through the contracting activity to make a capabilities assessment. The capability assessment is determined by the DEVCOM technical reviewer(s) that a business is either “capable” or “not capable” of performing the requirements that will be forthcoming in the solicitation. The information required below is only a starting point. A second goal of the SSA is to provide answers to questions raised at the Pre-CASS for which the Government does not know the answer. Take note of any Pre-CASS concerns where industry feedback is needed to move a procurement forward and be sure to include those concerns in the SSA.

The results of the sources sought announcement should be provided to your DEVCOM engineer for a capability review. The capability review and other pertinent information will be memorialized in the market research report (summarizing the SSA efforts, discussions and information gathering from the Pre-CASS period) and provided with the IGE and Pre-CASS documentation as the “initial ARP submission” to the contracting center. The SSA and all responses are attachments to the Market Research report.
