About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for swivel casters under National Stock Number (NSN) 5340-001066575 through this pre-solicitation notice. The procurement falls under NAICS code 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing) and requires approved source qualification due to the item's "1C" Acquisition Method Code designation, indicating it requires engineering source approval to maintain quality standards. Currently approved sources include Columbus Jack Corporation and Caster Concepts Inc., both of whom retain essential data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data not economically available to the government. Companies interested in becoming qualified sources must submit information to Contract Specialist Paul Ouedraogo by July 14, 2025. The evaluation will focus on demonstrating manufacturing capability equal to or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualifying contractors who can meet the stringent technical requirements. The two current approved sources, Columbus Jack Corporation (code 00994) and Caster Concepts Inc. (code 015E5), represent the existing qualified supplier base for this specialized hardware item. The procurement operates under an acquisition method that prioritizes maintaining product quality through controlled sourcing, requiring prospective contractors to undergo a comprehensive qualification process that includes submitting technical data packages demonstrating their manufacturing competency. Companies seeking approval must provide documentation showing their product meets or exceeds the quality standards of currently approved items, with the qualification procedures subject to approval by the cognizant Government engineering activity. The notice does not specify contract values, quantities, or delivery timelines, focusing instead on identifying potential additional qualified sources for future competitive acquisitions.
