About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential suppliers for a coupling, clamp, and grooved component with National Stock Number 5342-013842806. The agency is seeking manufacturers capable of producing between 272 and 1,088 units of this specific part, with two currently approved sources being Eaton Aeroquip LLC and Voss Industries, LLC. The market research will help determine the procurement method, with potential evaluation criteria focusing on organizational capabilities, technical resources, project management skills, and ability to meet performance requirements. Interested parties are invited to submit capability statements by May 19, 2025, via email to Montana.Kipp@dla.mil, detailing their organizational information, technical capabilities, and potential subcontracting arrangements. The agency emphasizes that this is a sources sought notice, and submission is voluntary with no financial responsibility assumed by the government.

The procurement may be set aside for small businesses or proceed through full and open competition, with the possibility of multiple awards. The NAICS code 332994 for Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing has been assigned to this opportunity. Potential contractors will be expected to manage the entire manufacturing process, including component procurement, inspection, testing, packaging, shipping, and addressing potential supply chain challenges such as long-lead time parts and diminishing manufacturing sources. The specific parts required are 18276-300-1 and 813123A-300Z, with unit prices to be established during contract award. While no specific budget range is provided, the quantity requirements suggest a potentially significant manufacturing contract.
