This pre-solicitation notice is issued strictly for informational and planning purposes pursuant to FAR Part 10 and does not constitute a formal request for proposals, quotations, or bids. Interested parties must complete and submit the attached Market Research Questionnaire to Susan Lupo at susan.lupo@dla.mil by January 9, 2026. The government seeks detailed information from potential suppliers regarding their manufacturing capabilities, company status, commercial distribution networks, and pricing factors. Sources are encouraged to complete a Source Approval Request (SAR) package to become approved sources for this item. The procurement will determine whether the item will be treated as a commercial or non-commercial purchase, and suppliers may be required to provide documentation verifying price reasonableness and commercial market acceptance. The applicable NAICS code is 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 750 employees.

This pre-solicitation notice involves no set-aside designations and references the current manufacturer as CAGE 4V360 (General Atomics, Part Number 34000D1420557). The government intends to purchase approximately 70 units of the Filter Subassembly, with the market research indicating an estimated quantity range of 50 to 120 units. No specific budget or award value is disclosed in this notice, as this is a sources sought announcement rather than a formal solicitation. The product will be shipped to a Defense Logistics Agency stock location. This is a one-time buy opportunity, and the DLA is not obligated to pay for any information submitted in response to this market research notice. Potential suppliers should note that the deadline for submitting completed market survey questionnaires is January 9, 2026.
