2910014311324

The Defense Logistics Agency Land & Maritime is conducting a sources sought market research effort for NSN 2910014311324, a fluid filter element used in engine fuel systems for Army MRAP vehicles. This pre-solicitation notice indicates DLA's intent to solicit a long-term indefinite quantity contract for this component, which is classified as a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) product under NAICS code 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing). The part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality standards, as approved sources retain proprietary design capabilities, manufacturing knowledge, and technical data essential to the product's quality that are not economically available to the Government. Interested sources must complete and return the attached market survey questionnaire and NSN spreadsheet providing detailed information on company classification, pricing, delivery capabilities, cost or pricing data capabilities, commercial item status, production limitations, and strategic input. The deadline for submitting responses is February 17, 2026, with completed materials to be sent to Brent Wahle at brent.wahle@dla.mil. DLA seeks open communication with the supplier base to develop an acquisition strategy and solicitation that benefits both the warfighter and contractor.

There is no set-aside designation for this procurement. Four approved sources are currently qualified to supply this item: HY-PRO Corporation (Part Number HPQE98154-10MV), Daimler Truck North America LLC (Part Number 29558329), Tactical Wheeled LLC (Part Number TW1324), and Allison Transmission Inc (Part Number 29558295). The estimated annual demand quantity is 6,434 units, indicating substantial procurement volume. The solicitation anticipates a three-year base period with single option years and will likely involve certified cost or pricing data for contracts exceeding $2,000,000. Alternate sources interested in qualifying must follow the design control activity's procedures and obtain approval from the cognizant Government engineering activity. The business size standard is 1,000 employees, and interested firms should note that DLA is actively seeking market feedback to inform its long-term contracting strategy for this critical component.
