FN HERSTAL (B0897) spare parts

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for FN HERSTAL spare parts through a sources sought notice under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority. The procurement covers 45 National Stock Number items including gun mounting adapters, ammunition components, electrical controls, and mechanical parts for which the government does not possess complete unrestrictive technical data. DLA is considering a future Indefinite Quantity Contract solicitation that could potentially range from 3 to 5 years in length, with a three-year base period and optional one-year extensions. Evaluation will require offerors to provide a complete data package including both approved and alternate parts for assessment, as no technical data is currently available to the government. The market research questionnaire must be completed within 5 business days, with responses due by September 27, 2025.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to both small and large businesses. No current incumbents or contractors are specifically identified in the pre-solicitation materials. While no specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed, the procurement encompasses 45 distinct NSN items with estimated annual demand quantities detailed in the market research spreadsheet. The anticipated contract structure involves consolidating requirements into a single solicitation to reduce administrative costs and enable long-term production planning, allowing vendors to quote on applicable NSNs based on their manufacturing capabilities. The government seeks to identify additional sources capable of manufacturing these specialized military equipment components beyond the currently approved sources.
