About this file

This is a Contractor Questionnaire accompanying a pre-solicitation market survey for the procurement of COMSEC fill and data cables supporting the AN/PYQ-10 Simple Key Loader (SKL) platform. The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen is seeking to identify potential manufacturing sources capable of producing NSN 5810-01-066-7587 (Fill Cable, Part Number ON512424) and NSN 5810-01-348-4675 (Data/Fill Cable, Part Number ON433836-1), both originally manufactured under CAGE code 40828. The anticipated contracting vehicle is a five-year Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Long-Term Contract with an estimated delivery schedule spanning 2028-2032.

The questionnaire consists of twelve questions designed to evaluate contractor capabilities in manufacturing communications security cables and managing technical requirements. Respondents must demonstrate past performance on similar DoD COMSEC contracts, qualifications of engineering staff experienced with comparable complexity and technology levels, and expertise in identifying appropriate test equipment for secure key-fill transmission components. Critical evaluation areas include obsolescence forecasting and mitigation strategies, capability to meet U.S. Government delivery requirements and preferred schedules, and ability to operate as a stable supply source without reliance on Government-furnished technical data. The Government does not possess the technical data package, which remains proprietary to the original equipment manufacturer. Interested sources should submit responses including completed questionnaires, past performance summaries on similar contracts, and quality assurance certifications such as ISO 9001 or AS9100, along with company name and CAGE code.
