Compressor, rotary

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify manufacturers capable of producing a rotary compressor (NSN 4310-01-570-0434) for potential procurement under a Long-Term Contract (LTC) or Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). This pre-solicitation notice seeks information from suppliers regarding their manufacturing capabilities, company classifications, and production details to develop a realistic and beneficial solicitation strategy. Interested parties must submit responses within five business days of receipt, providing supplier data including company size, employee count, manufacturer status, and contact information to Deonna Coleman at Deonna.Coleman@dla.mil or 614-852-6446. Key contract requirements under consideration include a proposed three-year base period with single option years thereafter, with suppliers expected to address quantity price breaks, delivery capabilities, and production limitations. The government is also requesting evidence of prior commercial sales, published price lists, and information regarding whether items meet commercial item criteria. No formal evaluation criteria have been established at this market research phase, as the government is gathering preliminary information to structure the upcoming solicitation. The due date for market research responses is April 13, 2026, marking the deadline for submitting manufacturer information and capability data.

This pre-solicitation notice includes no specific set-aside designations for small businesses, women-owned enterprises, or other protected categories. No incumbent contractors or current award holders are identified in the available documentation, as this represents an initial market research phase rather than a competitive solicitation. The government has not announced a specific award value or budget range for this procurement, though contracts estimated over $2,000,000 may require certified cost or pricing data from suppliers. The spreadsheet templates request detailed information including estimated annual demand quantities, delivery timeframes, and quantity price break ranges, but specific quantities or contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation phase. The government is particularly interested in identifying the actual manufacturer of the compressor and locating production facilities by city, state, or country to evaluate domestic and international sourcing options. While no formal proposal deadline has been announced, interested manufacturers should anticipate a formal solicitation to follow this market research period, likely to include a more detailed request for proposal or quotation.
