About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure a control gyroscope with a specific National Stock Number (NSN: 6615-012444250) through a pre-solicitation notice. The procurement is focused on acquiring a highly specialized component with strict engineering and manufacturing requirements. Currently, BAE SYSTEMS CONTROLS INC. is the approved source for this item, and the agency is interested in potential alternate manufacturers who can meet rigorous qualification standards. The contract requires potential sources to demonstrate equivalent or superior manufacturing capabilities through a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package. Interested manufacturers must submit their technical documentation directly to Contract Specialist Paul Ouedraogo by April 7, 2025, proving they can produce the item with the same level of quality as the original equipment manufacturer.
This pre-solicitation does not have a specific set-aside designation, indicating the opportunity is open to a broad range of qualified manufacturers. The procurement follows a unique approval process where manufacturers must be vetted by the design control activity to ensure they can maintain the technical integrity of the gyroscope. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement appears to be for a specialized military-grade component in the Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing category (NAICS 334511). The acquisition methodology emphasizes technical competence over cost, with a focus on preserving existing engineering capabilities and manufacturing knowledge. Potential alternate sources must go through a detailed qualification process approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity, with the burden of proof placed squarely on the prospective contractor to demonstrate their product's equivalence or superiority.
