About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought notice for a Carrier Drive Assembly, a critical component for AH-64D and AH-64E Apache Attack Helicopters. The assembly serves as an interface between the aircraft's ammunition magazine and linkless ammunition conveyor, with a specific manufacturer part number from Meggitt Defense Systems. This market research seeks to identify potential sources of supply for the component, with the government currently lacking technical data package rights. Contractors interested in becoming a supply source must meet Source Approval Program requirements, which include vehicle level qualification testing conducted at the contractor's own expense. The response deadline for this market research is June 20, 2025, and submission of capability information is voluntary, with the government assuming no financial responsibility for response costs.
The pre-solicitation notice covers a potential 5-year long-term contract with a minimum/maximum quantity range of 18 to 369 units. There is no specific set-aside designation for this opportunity, meaning it is open to all qualified contractors. The procurement falls under NAICS category 332994 for Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing, with a Product Service Code (PSC) of 1005 for Guns through 30mm. The TACOM Life Cycle Management Command's Competition Management Office will lead the Source Approval Program, which interested contractors must successfully navigate. While no specific award value is mentioned, the contract involves a critical military helicopter component, suggesting potential significant monetary value. Contractors will need to demonstrate technical capability and willingness to invest in qualification testing to be considered for this opportunity.
