Sources Sought NIIN List.xlsx

This is a Sources Sought announcement and supporting NIIN (National Item Identification Number) list from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime (DLA) seeking alternative manufacturing sources for Alfa Laval sole-source components. The government is actively seeking manufacturers capable of producing one or more items listed on the attached spreadsheet as potential alternatives to the currently approved Alfa Laval Inc. source (CAGE code referenced). This pre-solicitation is issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment by the government; all submitted responses are voluntary and used for information and planning purposes only.

Interested sources must provide company name, location, and points of contact, along with comprehensive technical data demonstrating that their alternate products are equal to the currently approved Alfa Laval products. Submitting companies must furnish complete drawings, specifications, design documentation, materials data, performance and functional characteristics, interchangeability information, and inspection/testing criteria for both their proposed alternate products and the existing approved products. Additional guidance on the approval process is referenced in DLAD 52.217-9002. The government acknowledges having no adequate data available to evaluate alternate products and requires detailed comparative analysis to support any approval decision for alternative manufacturers.
