About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is seeking potential manufacturers for a vehicular component cover with National Stock Number (NSN) 2590-01-707-4266, specifically Part Number 218-0002E-1-C. Currently, McClarin Plastics LLC is the sole approved source for this item, as the technical data required for competitive procurement is not economically obtainable or physically available. The contract specialist, Paul Kelley, is requesting that interested manufacturers submit information demonstrating their capability to produce these components by December 19, 2024. Companies wishing to be considered as an alternative source must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request Program. The SAR package must comprehensively document the manufacturer's ability to produce the item at a quality level equal to or better than the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).

The pre-solicitation notice indicates no specific set-aside designation for this procurement, and no explicit award value is provided in the documentation. The current contract manufacturing status is designated with an AMC/AMSC code of "3/D", which signifies that items must be procured directly from the actual manufacturer and that competitive solicitation is not feasible. The procurement is categorized under NAICS code 333310 for Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing and PSC code 2590 for Miscellaneous Vehicular Components. Potential manufacturers are encouraged to review the detailed SAR submission guidelines available on the DLA Land and Maritime website, with the understanding that the burden of proof lies with the contractor to demonstrate equivalent or superior manufacturing capabilities. The government's primary objective is to ensure a reliable source of high-quality vehicular component covers that meet stringent technical and performance standards.
