Elevator Parts

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify potential suppliers for replacement parts specifically designed for marine elevators. This pre-solicitation source sought notice seeks qualified contractors interested in competing for an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) to supply 47 distinct replacement parts, including rollers, springs, gaskets, seals, switches, valves, actuators, and couplings. The agency is evaluating potential suppliers based on their manufacturing and distribution capabilities, commercial item status, pricing structures, delivery capabilities, and willingness to participate in a long-term contract arrangement. Interested parties must demonstrate their ability to provide cost or pricing data and are encouraged to submit supporting documentation such as commercial sales histories, price lists, and technical drawings to validate price reasonableness. Responses to the market research questionnaire must be submitted by December 16, 2025, which represents a 10 business day response window from the posting date of December 10, 2025.

This is not a set-aside contract and is open to all qualified contractors without restrictions based on business size or socioeconomic status. Current suppliers for these marine elevator parts include vendors such as Jered LLC, Adams Elevator, Hunt Valve Company, and Teledyne Solid State, though the market research process is designed to expand the supplier base. The estimated annual demand value for this procurement is $5,307,819.19, representing a substantial opportunity for contractors capable of fulfilling marine elevator component requirements. The anticipated contract structure includes a three-year base period with option years, allowing successful contractors to establish a long-term relationship with the Defense Logistics Agency. This market research phase precedes formal solicitation and is intended to gather comprehensive intelligence on supply chain capabilities and pricing to develop an effective acquisition strategy.
