Gear Cluster

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for the procurement of Gear Cluster components under NSN 3020-00-484-4321, specifically Pratt & Whitney part number 3014787. This pre-solicitation notice seeks to identify potential suppliers capable of manufacturing these mechanical power transmission equipment components, which fall under NAICS code 333613. The current approved source for this NSN is Pratt & Whitney, but DLA is exploring additional qualified manufacturers through their market survey process. Companies interested in becoming approved sources must demonstrate their ability to manufacture products equal to or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer through DLA's Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. The market survey responses are due by August 28, 2025, and interested parties must complete the attached market survey questionnaire to participate in this market research effort.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, limiting participation to qualified small business concerns. The procurement involves a quantity of 25 units with a potential 100% option, effectively doubling the possible order to 50 units total. Pratt & Whitney serves as the current approved source and Original Equipment Manufacturer for these gear cluster components. The contracting approach will likely utilize a Firm Fixed Price Contract structure, as indicated in the market survey questionnaire. Companies responding to the market survey must provide comprehensive information about their manufacturing capabilities, inventory status, delivery timelines, and compliance with government packaging and specification requirements. The AMC/AMSC designation for this NSN is "3/D," indicating specific logistical and procurement classifications within the DLA system.
