About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a pre-solicitation market survey for the procurement of Idler Arms, Steering components under National Stock Number 2530-01-420-3839. This pre-solicitation notice seeks to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing these motor vehicle steering components, with the agency currently maintaining three approved sources: AM General (CAGE 34623), Ulven Corp (CAGE 3L0B3), and Affinia Prod (CAGE 4WJN6). The procurement carries an AMC/AMSC designation of "1B," indicating the item is suitable for competitive acquisition but must be acquired from manufacturing sources specified on source control drawings due to limited technical data or government data rights. Companies interested in becoming qualified suppliers must submit responses to Contract Specialist Karin Wilson by July 7, 2025, or pursue formal qualification through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. The SAR process requires contractors to demonstrate their ability to manufacture products equal to or better than the original equipment manufacturer through comprehensive technical documentation.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified manufacturers meeting the technical requirements. The current approved sources represent the incumbent contractors with established manufacturing capabilities for this specific steering component. The attached market survey questionnaire indicates the agency is exploring an Indefinite Delivery Contract structure with a potential three-year base period and up to two additional option years. The survey reveals minimum order guarantees ranging from 1-10% of forecasted annual demand, though specific award values or total contract quantities are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation documentation. The procurement timeline allows seven business days for survey responses, with the agency seeking comprehensive information about commercial availability, manufacturing capabilities, pricing structures, and delivery timelines from potential suppliers.
