About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is preparing to procure a chain assembly for tires under NSN 2540-124172097 and is soliciting sources by May 7, 2026. This procurement is structured as a sole-source or limited-source acquisition; the government has determined that Rud Ketten Rieger (D3800) and Freedom Defense Group, LLC (8BZZ1) are currently the only approved sources capable of providing these parts because reverse engineering is not economically feasible and competitive technical data is unavailable.
The contract specialist is conducting a market survey to identify any alternative manufacturers who may qualify as approved sources. Interested vendors may apply for source approval through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) program by submitting a SAR package demonstrating that their product meets or exceeds the quality of the original equipment manufacturer's item. The applicant bears the burden of documenting manufacturing equivalence.
The market survey questionnaire requests supplier information including NAICS code (336360, Motor Vehicle Seating and Interior Trim Manufacturing), business classification, manufacturing location and method, inventory status, delivery capability, pricing, minimum order quantities, and hazardous material content. Respondents must confirm SAM and ORCA certifications reflect the correct NAICS code and provide supporting documentation such as price lists, invoices, and technical specifications. Firms should contact Contract Specialist Sarah Harmon (sarah.harmon@dla.mil) with completed survey responses.
