About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support Subsistence (DLA) is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for Emergency Drinking Water in rigid plastic containers, specifically Type II, Size C, Class 2, 3, and/or 5. The market research effort aims to identify potential vendors capable of supplying water containers to two primary delivery points: DLA Distribution San Joaquin in Tracy, California, and DLA Distribution in Norfolk, Virginia. Interested vendors must provide comprehensive company information, demonstrate previous government contract experience, and confirm their ability to deliver containers within 90 calendar days of order receipt. The agency requires vendors to submit detailed responses via email to designated DLA points of contact, with the explicit understanding that this is a market research initiative and not a formal solicitation. Respondents should carefully review the technical specifications available through the provided DLA link and be prepared to document their manufacturing capabilities and logistical readiness.
The pre-solicitation notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, targeting small business manufacturers in the Bottled Water Manufacturing (NAICS 312112) sector. Typical order quantities range from 5,000 to 35,000 containers per delivery location, suggesting a potentially significant procurement volume. While no specific award value is disclosed, the notice indicates this is a preliminary market research phase to assess vendor capabilities and interest before formal solicitation. The response deadline is March 25, 2025, providing vendors approximately three weeks to prepare and submit their market research responses. No compensation will be provided for participation, as the primary goal is to gather intelligence about potential suppliers' capabilities for future emergency drinking water container procurement.
