Gear-slip clutch, SP

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is soliciting suppliers for a one-time procurement of gear-slip clutches (NSN 3020010533819, part number 5004460). The agency seeks to identify potential suppliers through a market survey due by close of business on April 28, 2026, with the formal solicitation expected to follow. Interested sources must complete and submit the attached Market Survey to Jennifer Cummins at Jennifer.cummins@dla.mil, and those wishing to become approved sources must provide documentation in accordance with DLA Procurement Notes L04 and M06. The evaluation will consider suppliers' manufacturing capability, business size classification, inventory status, delivery timeframes, pricing structure, and commercial item status. Key requirements include providing information on minimum order quantities, quantity/price breaks, acceptance of F.O.B. Origin terms, hazardous materials content, and unit weight/size specifications, with the government expressing preference for Firm Fixed Price contracts. The May 1, 2026 due date marks the formal solicitation deadline, though the market survey itself closes earlier on April 28, 2026.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and currently lists FDH DEFENSE AFTERMARKET, LLC (CAGE 7CNG1) and HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION (CAGE 99167) as approved manufacturers. The DLA is planning to purchase 71 units with a potential option for an additional 71 units (142 total units with a 100 percent option), though specific budget amounts are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The NAICS classification is 333612 (Speed Changer, Industrial High-Speed Drive, and Gear Manufacturing), and the PSC code is 3020 (Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain). The market survey emphasizes the government's interest in identifying commercial off-the-shelf products with established commercial sales history, catalog-listed items, or items with only minor modifications. Suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to meet delivery requirements and provide competitive pricing for this one-time acquisition.
