Cylinder, hoist

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought market survey for a hoist cylinder (NSN: 7GH 3120 014856706, Part Number D1218632) to gather information from potential suppliers prior to issuing a formal solicitation. Interested parties must complete and submit the attached market survey questionnaire, which addresses 18 main questions and seven supplemental commercial item questions covering topics such as item availability, commercial off-the-shelf status, pricing information, delivery timeframes, and manufacturing capabilities. Any source other than the original equipment manufacturer must provide complete traceability information demonstrating the material's origin from the OEM, with failure to do so rendering the response non-responsive. All responses must be submitted via email to Joshua Ginsburg (joshua.ginsburg@dla.mil) by 2:00 PM EST on May 11, 2026. This is an informational sources sought notice only and does not constitute a solicitation, commitment to award, or request for proposals, meaning no funds are available to reimburse response preparation costs and submissions are entirely voluntary.

The procurement is for a quantity of 10 units of the hoist cylinder from the approved design manufacturer, L3 Technologies Inc. (CAGE Code 34228). This pre-solicitation notice carries no set-aside designation, indicating it is open to all qualified suppliers. The market survey seeks to establish realistic pricing, delivery capabilities, inventory practices, and supplier qualifications to inform the development of the eventual formal solicitation. Suppliers are expected to provide information regarding their commercial sales history, catalog pricing, recommended order quantities for volume discounts, standard lead times, and ability to support potential contract options with Economic Price Adjustment clauses. The specific award value has not been disclosed in this sources sought phase, as the government is still in the information-gathering stage prior to formal solicitation development.
