Bicons - II

The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Directorate of Construction and Equipment is conducting market research for BICON II units identified under National Stock Number 8150-01-586-4979. This pre-solicitation notice seeks pricing information and supplier capability data from interested contractors who may respond to a future formal solicitation. Key requirements include the ability to quote as either a dealer or manufacturer, confirmation of domestic product sourcing, and demonstrated capacity to meet a 60 to 120-day delivery schedule to Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Contractors must respond to a detailed seven-question market research inquiry covering manufacturing capacity, product origin, and shipping capabilities. The response deadline is April 25, 2026, with submissions directed to Avril Dickerson at DLA Troop Support via email at Avril.Dickerson@dla.mil or telephone at 445-737-7976.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all eligible contractors without restrictions based on small business status or other socioeconomic categories. The market research involves two specific quantities—116 units and 284 units—with all shipments required to deliver to a single location in New Mexico. While no incumbent contractor or award value has been identified in this pre-solicitation phase, the focus on manufacturing capacity and delivery timeline suggests the government anticipates a substantive procurement once supplier capabilities are assessed. The NAICS classification of Other Metal Container Manufacturing and the PSC code designation for Freight Containers indicate that specialized container manufacturing expertise will be relevant to future proposal evaluation. Interested firms should prepare to demonstrate their current production capabilities, sourcing practices, and logistical capacity to respond competitively once the formal solicitation is released.
