DOLLY, HOLDING MK24-1 5-Year IDIQ Contract

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting a pre-solicitation market survey for the procurement of DOLLY, HOLDING MK24-1 units (NSN: 1398010548147). This is a sources sought notice intended to gather market information from potential suppliers regarding alternate products that maintain the same form, fit, and function as the currently approved item. The anticipated contract will be structured as a 5-year Firm-Fixed-Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement, consisting of a 3-year base period followed by two optional 1-year periods. Potential contractors must demonstrate product availability, commercial item status (where applicable), pricing capability, normal delivery times, and inventory maintenance capabilities. The survey requests detailed responses addressing manufacturing history, minimum order requirements, willingness to accept economic price adjustment clauses tied to the Producer Price Index, and organizational structure information. Responses must be submitted to Matthew Forsythe at matthew.forsythe@dla.mil by the closing date of March 28, 2026, though this market survey is informational only and does not constitute a formal request for proposal or commitment of government funds.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and currently identifies Deval Corporation (CAGE Code: 11201) as the approved source for part number 5166020. The estimated annual quantity requirement is 16 units per year, with no specific budget range disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. As a specialized equipment procurement classified under PSC 1398 (Specialized Ammunition Handling and Servicing Equipment) and NAICS 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing), the contract will require suppliers to meet specific technical and manufacturing standards. The DLA is particularly interested in identifying alternative sources that can meet the established form, fit, and function requirements, and respondents offering commercial items must provide supporting documentation such as sales evidence, warranty information, price lists, catalogs, or web links demonstrating availability to the general public.
