This is not a request for a proposal. This announcement is considered market research in accordance with FAR Part 15. The purpose of this sources sought synopsis is to seek qualified vendors capable of supplying the item listed below.

DLA Land & Maritime is preparing to solicit a long term contract for the NSN 6110015427901, CONTROL, REMOTE SWITCHING. The acquisition will be for supplies for which the Government does not possess complete, unrestrictive technical data; therefore, the Government intends to solicit and contract with sources supplying parts of the approved sources under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), unless other qualified sources can be identified.  The NSN has two approved sources GHSP, Inc. dba KDS Controls (09HP0) and UUSI, LLC dba Nartron (32498). 

The proposed procurement will contain an option to extend the contract period one or more times at the discretion of the government.  The total duration (base plus option years) shall not exceed five (5) years.

This solicitation is for a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a three year base and two "one-year" option periods. Prices will be fixed and adjusted annually by a fixed percentage. This IQC solicitation will provide repair and replacement parts for military customers both in the Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The support of these items will be through DLA Direct requirements.  All DLA inventory points will be authorized to use the resulting contract. This acquisition will be issued as unrestricted, using other than full and open competition with a limited number of sources, citing authority 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1.

This acquisition is for supplies for which the Government does not possess complete, unrestrictive technical data; it is restricted to sources specified on Source Control drawings/document. This is a Competitive Acquisition. Product Verification Testing (PVT) is required.

While price may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final award decision will be based upon a combination of price, delivery, past performance and other evaluation factors as described in the solicitation.
