CL26068291 - Sources Sought

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify qualified suppliers for National Stock Number 2510-01-554-4726, a stabilizer bar used in vehicular applications. This Sources Sought Notice (CL26068291) is issued in accordance with FAR Part 10 for informational and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal Request for Proposal. The DLA is seeking information regarding companies' capabilities to provide this item under a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). Interested contractors must demonstrate their ability to meet specific requirements outlined in the attached questionnaire and spreadsheet, including business qualifications, commercial item status, pricing capabilities, delivery timelines, and production capacity. The government is particularly interested in understanding contractors' capabilities regarding FOB preferences, zone-based pricing strategies, certified cost or pricing data requirements for contracts exceeding $2,000,000, and willingness to comply with standard commercial packaging with MIL-STD-129 markings. All responses must be submitted to Jeremy.Feeney@dla.mil by April 3, 2026, with the completed questionnaire and spreadsheet template.

No set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement opportunity. AM General LLC (CAGE 6028266) has been identified as an approved company source, with Federal Mogul Corp (CAGE 34623) noted as the manufacturer. The Sources Sought Notice does not disclose specific award values or budget ranges, as this is preliminary market research rather than a binding procurement action. Interested contractors should note that the government will be evaluating responses based on the ability to support an IQC structure with flexible option year configurations (0-4 years), demonstrated pricing adjustment capabilities, and capacity to meet minimum delivery order quantities. The questionnaire also addresses preferences for contract length, with specific inquiry into acceptability of a three-year base period, and seeks information on production limitations and estimated delivery timelines to inform the development of realistic contract terms in subsequent formal solicitation.
