CL23293003 Gun Cleaning Kit

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research for a Long-Term Contract (LTC) to procure gun cleaning kits with specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs). The pre-solicitation notice, identified by solicitation number CL23293003, seeks potential manufacturers and suppliers capable of producing these specialized military equipment items. Current approved sources include Otis Products, Inc. and BC Technical Center, LLC, but the agency is actively seeking additional qualified vendors. Interested companies must submit detailed information directly to contract specialist Jeffery Wright at Jeffery.Wright@dla.mil by March 18, 2025, which represents the response deadline for this market research phase. The market research questionnaire indicates the agency is evaluating potential suppliers based on manufacturing capabilities, business status, pricing structures, and ability to meet military specifications for gun cleaning kit production.

The pre-solicitation does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity appears open to various business sizes and types. The contract is structured as a potential three-year base contract with option years, targeting the Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332994). While specific award values are not disclosed, the attached spreadsheet suggests significant annual demand quantities for these cleaning kits. The procurement focuses on Product Service Code 1005 for guns through 30mm, with the government seeking comprehensive information about potential suppliers' production capacities, minimum order quantities, and commercial pricing models. The market research aims to help DLA develop a comprehensive and realistic solicitation that can effectively meet military equipment requirements for gun cleaning kits across multiple NSN categories.
