Cylinder head, diese

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought notice for a diesel cylinder head component, specifically NSN 2815-01-533-3284 (part number 1P348318LA). DLA Maritime Mechanicsburg seeks to identify potential suppliers capable of manufacturing or supplying this diesel engine component, with the approved design held by Fincantieri Marine Systems (CAGE code 0VP52). Non-original equipment manufacturers must provide complete traceability information back to the OEM when submitting offers, as failure to do so may render responses non-responsive. The agency has issued a market survey to gather intelligence on supplier capabilities, commercial availability, pricing structures, delivery timelines, and manufacturing capacity for this specialized component. Interested sources must complete and return the attached market survey via email to Jennifer.Elliott@dla.mil by 2:00 PM EST on September 19, 2025.

This procurement opportunity does not include any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified suppliers. Fincantieri Marine Systems is identified as the original equipment manufacturer and holder of the approved design for this cylinder head component. The sources sought notice does not specify contract values, quantities, or delivery timelines, as this is a preliminary market research phase designed to inform future solicitation development. The market survey requests detailed information about potential suppliers' manufacturing capabilities, employee count, parent company relationships, and ability to provide cost or pricing data for contracts that may exceed $800,000. This indicates the government anticipates a potentially significant contract value, though no specific budget range has been disclosed at this preliminary stage.
