This is a Sources Sought Synopsis issued by the Defense Logistics Agency for market research purposes regarding the acquisition of critical spare parts for the Patriot Weapons System to support operations in Poland. The document identifies five line items across two NAICS codes (334419 and 335999), including a Microwave Devices assembly (1 unit), Inverter Power Stat (3 units), Excited Group (1 unit), Synthesizer Electric (2 units), and High Voltage Power Supply (2 units). All items require specific part numbers and are subject to AMSC source control codes (3C, 3B, 3N, 4N, and 4D) that restrict acquisition to approved manufacturers due to unique design capabilities, specialized test and inspection facilities, or unavailable technical data.

The response deadline is 3 days, with close of business on August 21, 2026. There is no current solicitation available, and responses are strictly voluntary with no commitment to award or pay for proposal preparation. All offerors must meet prequalification requirements and obtain source approval from the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center's System Readiness Directorate before becoming eligible for award. The Government is interested in all business types, including 8(a), small business, small disadvantaged business, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and Women-Owned small business concerns. Interested firms should email inquiries to usarmy.redstone.devcom-avmc.mbx.amr-ss-sar@mail.mil. The contractor will be responsible for all manufacturing and production aspects, including supply chain management, logistics, long-lead parts procurement, and final delivery. The acquisition may contain technical data restricted by the Arms Export Control Act, and foreign firms must process requests through their respective embassies.
