About this file
This is a Market Research Survey issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support Construction & Equipment to gather industry input on a potential procurement for NSN 4240-01-528-9286 (Hood, Chemical-Biolo). The survey requests feedback from interested contractors regarding manufacturing capabilities, requirements, and market conditions. Responses were due by COB April 15, 2026, and should be submitted via email to Matthew Eckenrode, Contracting Officer. The Government explicitly stated this survey is for information purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation for price proposals.
The anticipated procurement involves a quantity of 2,225 units with specific technical requirements including Contractor First Article Test (FAT) and Contractor Production Lot Testing (PLT). The proposed delivery schedule includes 30 days for the FAT CLIN, 90 days for the PLT CLIN, and approximately 120 days for the Production CLIN following award. The survey seeks vendor information on company structure (manufacturer versus distributor), SAM.GOV registration status, ability to meet minimum order quantities, feasibility of completing testing requirements, and realistic delivery timelines. Additionally, the Government requested input on commerciality status, special tooling requirements, and market trends relevant to this chemical-biological defense equipment. The item is subject to export control regulations under either ITAR or EAR, with distribution limited to contractors holding appropriate certifications.
