About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure a Cylinder Assembly with National Stock Number 3040-016425340. The pre-solicitation notice indicates that the agency is specifically looking for a source to manufacture this specialized part, with current approval limited to Stratus Systems. The contracting opportunity is structured to allow potential alternative manufacturers to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating their capability to produce the item at an equivalent or superior quality level to the original equipment manufacturer. The contract specialist, Paul Ouedraogo, is managing the procurement and is requesting potential sources to review the NSN and submit qualification information by March 27, 2025. The evaluation will focus on a company's technical capabilities, manufacturing competence, and ability to produce the item economically and to precise specifications.

No specific set-aside designation has been applied to this procurement, and the current approved source is JARP INDUSTRIES, INC. The solicitation notes that Stratus Systems is currently considered the sole viable manufacturer due to the complexity and economic challenges of reverse engineering the item. While no specific award value or quantity is detailed in the pre-solicitation notice, the procurement appears to be for a specialized motor vehicle transmission or power train component, classified under NAICS code 336350. Interested manufacturers must submit a comprehensive SAR package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request Program, which requires extensive technical documentation proving manufacturing capability. The agency emphasizes that the burden of proof lies with the potential contractor to demonstrate product equivalence or superiority to the existing approved source.
