About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure bumpers under National Stock Number (NSN) 5340-01-512-0408 through a competitive procurement process. This pre-solicitation notice invites potential suppliers to submit information regarding their manufacturing capabilities and capacity to produce this component. The government is conducting market research to identify alternative sources beyond the currently approved manufacturer, with respondents expected to demonstrate manufacturing competency equal to or superior to the original equipment manufacturer. Key requirements include the ability to manufacture the bumper to the same level of quality or better than the existing approved source, with interested parties able to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package containing technical documentation supporting their manufacturing capabilities. The response deadline for this market survey is November 20, 2025, and all submissions should be directed to Contract Specialist Zachary Rodriguez at Zachary.rodriguez@dla.mil.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is currently limited to Breeze-Eastern LLC (CAGE 08484, Part Number BL-15975-3), which is identified as the sole approved source based on the unavailability of competitive technical data and the economic infeasibility of reverse engineering. The base procurement quantity is 326 units with an optional increase to 652 units (100% option). The government has determined that while no other source can currently provide this item economically, alternative suppliers are invited to qualify through the formal SAR program to potentially expand the competitive base for future acquisitions. This hardware procurement falls under NAICS code 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC code 5340 (Hardware, Commercial). The market survey represents preliminary research to inform the government's acquisition strategy prior to formal solicitation.
