Indicator, sight, LIQ

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is procuring 7 units of liquid sight indicators under NSN 6680006637199 through a Request for Quote solicitation. The procurement specifically requires an approved source designated as 74965 JMS-8791, indicating a sole-source or approved vendor requirement for this specialized measuring and controlling device. The solicitation was posted on August 20, 2025, with quotes due by August 28, 2025, providing only 8 days for response submission. All quotes must be submitted electronically, as hard copies of the solicitation are not available, and no specifications, plans, or drawings are provided with the opportunity. The procurement falls under NAICS code 334519 for Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing and PSC category 66 for Instruments and Laboratory Equipment.

This solicitation does not include any set-aside designations, making it open to all responsible sources despite the approved vendor specification. The delivery requirement specifies that the 7 liquid sight indicators must be delivered to W1A8 DLA Distribution within 163 days after date of order (ADO). No award values or budget ranges are disclosed in the solicitation notice, and no incumbent contractor information is provided. The procurement appears to be for standard warehouse stock replenishment given the DLA Distribution delivery location and the nature of the items being procured. The tight timeline and specific approved source requirement suggest this may be an urgent replacement need for these specialized liquid level indicators.
