About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is conducting market research through this Sources Sought Notice to identify manufacturers capable of producing or legitimately obtaining a Ballscrew Assembly (NSN 1680-012175837, Part-Number 8545M1, Weapon System Designator Code 40A). This is not a formal solicitation but rather an informational announcement to determine qualified sources in the market. Interested companies must demonstrate their capability to manufacture the item to the same quality level or better than the currently approved supplier. Contractors seeking to qualify as an approved source must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package containing comprehensive technical documentation that proves their product meets or exceeds the requirements of the existing item. The response deadline for this Sources Sought Notice is February 23, 2026, and interested parties should contact Leslea Newlon, Contracting Specialist, at 445-737-9902 for additional information.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any current contractors or incumbent suppliers in the notice materials. No award value or specific quantity requirements are disclosed in this pre-solicitation announcement, as the primary purpose is to conduct market research rather than solicit formal bids. The SAR review process typically requires over 180 days from receipt by DLA Aviation, and contractors are advised to consult the DLA Supplier Requirements Visibility Application and the PUB LOG FLIS database to assess estimated forecasting requirements before submission. For opportunities with no open solicitation, contractors must submit their SAR electronically through the DoD SAFE file transmission site after requesting a drop-off link by emailing dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil. The government notes that no funds are available to compensate respondents for preparing responses to this announcement, and submission does not obligate the government to award any contract.
