About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturing sources for a DAMPER,FLUE (NSN: 4520-01-089-4556, Part Number: 11453911) used in the M-D6 (PATRIOT) weapon system. This procurement is currently being processed as a sole source acquisition under FAR 6.302-1(a)(1) because suitable technical data and manufacturing rights are not available from alternative sources. The government is specifically interested in identifying potential suppliers, with a preference for Women-Owned Small Business contractors. Contractors must meet prequalification requirements and be capable of performing specialized manufacturing with ultra-precision quality standards. The sources sought synopsis was posted on April 17, 2025, with a response window closing on April 21, 2025, and interested firms are encouraged to seek source approval through the specified AMCOM Spare Parts Manufacturer website.

The contract opportunity falls under NAICS Code 333414 with a size standard of 500 employees, specifically in the Heating Equipment Manufacturing category. The current identified manufacturer is Lentros Engineering Inc. (CAGE CODE 53416) located in Ashland, Massachusetts. Contractors will be responsible for comprehensive engineering services, including supply chain management, logistics, parts forecasting, long-lead procurement, and addressing potential obsolescence issues. This pre-solicitation notice includes critical export control requirements, mandating that both the quoter and manufacturer must have an active United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification to access export-controlled data. While no specific award value or quantity is mentioned, the government indicates this is a subsequent purchase (AMC code 3N) of the specialized component, suggesting an established but limited procurement need.
