About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation has issued a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential manufacturers or suppliers for 25 National Item Identification Numbers (NIINs) covering various aircraft and electronic component assemblies, including cable assemblies, fairings, flexible sections, fixtures, adapters, wire rope assemblies, mounting plates, and electronic modules. The items are currently considered sole source to Lockheed Martin Corporation, with DLA seeking to determine if other companies can manufacture or legitimately obtain these components under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1). Interested companies must submit responses by August 5, 2025, at 5:30 PM EDT, including company details, CAGE code, business size status, point of contact information, and a comprehensive capability statement demonstrating manufacturing abilities, financial resources, integrity record, experience, and technical skills. The evaluation will focus on the company's ability to meet requirements and provide adequate documentation of their qualifications. Companies seeking to become an "Approved Source" must also submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the designated program to demonstrate equivalent or superior manufacturing capabilities.

This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to businesses of all sizes. Lockheed Martin Corporation is identified as the current sole source supplier for all listed items, and the government intends to add these NSNs to an existing long-term contract that falls under the Captains of Industry (COI) contract SPE4AX-22-D-9000. The notice covers 25 specific NIINs for aircraft components, with most items classified under Federal Supply Classes 1680, 5995, and 4920. No specific award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the announcement, and the government emphasizes this is strictly a market research initiative with no guarantee of contract award. The timeline for responses is limited to one week from the posting date, with all submissions required by August 5, 2025. Any items determined to not be sole source to Lockheed Martin will be removed from the procurement effort.

Notice text

Owego Price Pending Items

SOURCES SOUGHT FOR Lockheed Martin SOLE SOURCE ITEMS.

DISCLAIMER: This Sources Sought Notice is for informational purposes only. A sources sought is a means of conducting market research to seek possible sources for a project, and to determine if a set-aside of a type is appropriate. The sources sought process is not restricted to small businesses. In many cases, large businesses should also respond with capability statements, as this will provide a clearer understanding of the current market. Based on the information received in response to this notice, the Government may change the initial acquisition strategy.

This Sources Sought Notice does not constitute a solicitation and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses in any form are not quotes, offers or proposals. The Government is under no obligation to award a contract because of this announcement. Funds are not available to pay for preparation of responses to this announcement. Any information submitted by respondents to this technical description is strictly voluntary.

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is issuing this Sources Sought Notice to determine if other companies are capable of manufacturing, or legitimately obtaining the items listed and included as Attachment 1 to this announcement. DLA intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1) as implemented by FAR 6.302-1. Items are sole source to Lockheed Martin Corporation, and this is the only known source of supply. If items are determined to not be sole source to Lockheed Martin, they shall be removed from the effort. The Government intends to add NSNs on to a long-term contract (LTC), which is a price pending contract that is part of a subsumable under Captains of Industry (COI) contract – SPE4AX-22-D-9000.

Interested and responsible sources who consider themselves qualified to manufacture, or legitimately obtain the items listed under Attachment 1, are invited to submit a response to this Sources Sought by August 5, 2025.

Responses must include the name and address of the company, CAGE code, business size status, point of contact name, title, phone, and email. Responses should also include a capability statement demonstrating the company’s ability to meet this requirement and include documentation demonstrating adequate financial resources, satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics, experience, accounting and operational controls, technical skills, management resources and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

Submit responses to Bobby.Hornsby@dla.mil by 5:30 PM (EDT). Telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged. Feedback or evaluations will not be provided to sources regarding their submission. A determination not to compete this requirement based upon responses to this notice is solely at the discretion of the Government.

If your company desires to be reviewed and qualified as an "Approved Source" for any of these items, submit an application package through the Source Approval Request (SAR) Program as outlined in the JACG SAM HB document. A SAR package contains all of the technical data needed to demonstrate that the prospective contractor can competently manufacture the product to the same level of quality, or better, than the required item. The onus is on the contractor to document and demonstrate their product is equal to, or better, than the currently approved item, which DLA Aviation is procuring.

To submit your SAR please send an email to: dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil, and cc Bobby.Hornsby@dla.mil, with subject line "request a SAR drop off". Include CAGE code, the NSN and the email address where you want to receive the DoDSafe link.  After we receive your email request, a DoDSafe drop off will be returned, where you can upload your SAR file and return.
