Connecting rod, pist

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for connecting rods (NSN 4320012207016), classified under the Fluid Power Pump and Motor Manufacturing NAICS category. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) is open to all responsible sources, with quotes to be submitted electronically by December 22, 2025. The procurement requires delivery of 22 units to DLA Distribution Cherry Point within 154 days from order placement. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the notice, the solicitation indicates that an approved source exists (vendor 96487 281907), though this does not restrict competition to that supplier. No specifications, plans, or drawings are available through the solicitation notice itself, and hard copies are not being distributed.

This is an unrestricted procurement with no set-aside designation, meaning all qualified vendors may compete. The requirement consists of a single line item for 22 connecting rod assemblies to be delivered to the naval logistics facility at Cherry Point. No budget range or award value is specified in the solicitation notice. The approved source reference (96487 281907) indicates a historically used supplier, but this does not preclude other vendors from submitting competitive quotes. Interested contractors should note that all submissions must be made electronically, and the compressed timeline between the December 11 posting and December 22 deadline allows limited time for quote preparation and submission.
