Electronic Component

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime seeks to procure Electronic Components identified by NSN 5998-99-745-6533 through a sole source contract award to Pearson Engineering, LTD (CAGE Code: K0824). This is a source-controlled item where the government lacks the necessary technical data for competitive procurement, and Pearson Engineering is identified as the only source with the requisite technical and engineering expertise. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334418 for Printed Circuit Assembly Manufacturing and PSC category 5998 for Electrical and Electronic Assemblies, Boards, Cards, and Associated Hardware. This pre-solicitation notice was posted on July 2, 2025, with a due date of July 17, 2025, though it clarifies this is not an open solicitation for bids or proposals. Interested parties must complete qualification testing and evaluation to become approved sources through the Source Approval Program administered by TACOM.

No set-aside designation applies to this procurement opportunity, indicating it is available to all qualified vendors once they achieve source approval status. Pearson Engineering, LTD is positioned as the incumbent sole source supplier for this electronic component, holding the exclusive technical knowledge and capabilities required for manufacturing. The notice does not specify contract values, quantities, or delivery timelines, focusing instead on the source approval process requirements. Potential contractors must understand that qualifying as an approved source only provides the opportunity to compete on future solicitations and does not guarantee business awards. The procurement process requires vendors to navigate TACOM's Source Approval Program requirements, including submission of Source Approval Request packages and completion of qualification testing protocols.
