About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support is conducting market research through a sources sought notice to identify manufacturers or legitimate suppliers capable of producing 417 National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs) listed in the attached workbook, with responses due by August 18, 2026. This is informational market research only and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment to award a contract; no funds are available for response preparation.
Interested parties may submit responses voluntarily to demonstrate manufacturing capability or supply access for the listed items. DLA Aviation notes that respondents seeking "Approved Source" qualification must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA SAR Program, as detailed in the attached MNACG SAM document. The SAR package must include technical data demonstrating that the prospective contractor can manufacture the product to equal or superior quality compared to the currently approved item DLA Aviation procures. The contractor bears the burden of documenting product equivalency or superiority.
Respondents with an open solicitation for a National Stock Number (NSN) or Local Stock Number (LSN) should submit the SAR directly to the buyer noted on that solicitation. Those submitting a SAR for an NSN/LSN without an open solicitation should contact the DLA SAR Program at the address provided.
Place of performance is Richmond, Virginia. Contact Melissa Gallagher, Contract Specialist, at melissa.1.gallagher@dla.mil or 445-737-7106 for questions.
