Headset‐microphone

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources capable of manufacturing a headset-microphone component identified by NSN 5965016632034, part number 981000014 (CAGE code 46628). This procurement falls under the Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing category (NAICS 334310) and the Headsets, Handsets, Microphones and Speakers product service code (PSC 5965). Rather than issuing a formal solicitation, the agency has posted this pre-solicitation notice to identify potential manufacturers before releasing the final solicitation. Interested parties are invited to submit information about manufacturing sources, including the manufacturer's location, company points of contact, and relevant production capabilities. All responses and manufacturer references should be directed to Carlos Oquendo at carlos.oquendo@dla.mil, with a deadline of April 15, 2026 for submission of this market research information.

This procurement opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, meaning only small business entities are eligible to bid on the resulting contract. The pre-solicitation notice does not specify an estimated award value, contract quantity, or detailed production timeline, as its primary purpose is to gather market intelligence on available manufacturing sources rather than to solicit formal proposals. No incumbent contractor information or specific performance metrics have been disclosed at this stage. The abbreviated timeline between the posting date of April 8, 2026 and the response deadline of April 15, 2026 indicates the government's intent to move quickly from market research to formal solicitation. Firms with manufacturing capabilities or knowledge of qualified suppliers should prepare documentation regarding production locations and key contacts for timely submission.
