DLA Maritime Mechanicsburg is conducting market research to identify potential sources for a Sonar Projector (NSN 7HH 5845 015035473, P/N 400131-501) classified under the Underwater Sound Equipment category. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation for this specialized underwater acoustic equipment. Key requirements include that non-OEM sources must provide complete traceability documentation linking the supplied item back to the original equipment manufacturer, with failure to provide this information potentially rendering an offer non-responsive.

The deadline for responding to this market survey is 2:00 PM EST on March 28, 2026, with submissions directed to Matthew Cracker at matthew.cracker@dla.mil.
