CL25217003

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for a potential Long-Term Contract (LTC) or Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) to procure 22 specific transportation equipment components, including cylinder assemblies, track components, latches, tires, electrical sockets, brake calipers, and various mechanical arms and linkages under NAICS code 336 (Transportation Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC 2530 (Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, And Track Components). The agency is seeking to identify potential manufacturers who can supply these items beyond the currently approved source, with respondents required to submit manufacturing source information directly to Contracting Officer Jeffery Wright at jeffery.Wright@dla.mil. Key requirements include completing a comprehensive market research questionnaire within 5 business days that covers company capabilities, business classification, manufacturing status, contract preferences for a three-year base period with option years, pricing structures, and production capabilities. For contracts exceeding $2 million, suppliers must provide cost or pricing data and evidence of commercial sales to support price reasonableness. The response deadline for this pre-solicitation notice is August 27, 2025, with all submissions due by that date to be considered for the upcoming solicitation development.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. Currently, Deval Life Cycle Support LLC (CAGE Code 11201) is identified as the sole approved source for all 22 components listed in the market research spreadsheet, indicating the government's interest in expanding the supplier base for these items. While specific contract values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation documents, the mention of requiring cost and pricing data for contracts over $2 million suggests the potential award value may exceed this threshold. The contract structure being considered includes a three-year base period with additional option years, though the exact number of option years and total contract duration are not specified. The 22 components represent a diverse range of vehicular parts, suggesting this may be part of a broader vehicle maintenance or manufacturing support contract. Potential suppliers are being evaluated on their ability to meet minimum order quantities, handle additions or deletions to contract items, and demonstrate manufacturing limitations or capabilities relevant to these specialized transportation equipment components.
