About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential manufacturers or suppliers capable of producing the Gun Drive Assembly for Aircraft (NSN 1680-015551171, Part Number 201F799), classified under Weapon System Designator Code C4N. This pre-solicitation notice, issued on December 10, 2025, is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment to award a contract. Interested parties must submit responses by December 15, 2025, to the DLA Weapons Support Richmond office, with Leslea Newlon serving as the primary point of contact. Companies seeking approval as an "Approved Source" must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DoD SAFE file transmission site, demonstrating that their product meets or exceeds the quality and technical specifications of the currently approved item. The SAR process requires comprehensive technical documentation and proof that the prospective contractor can competently manufacture the product to the same or higher standards as the required component.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractor or current supplier information is provided in the notice. The announcement does not specify an award value, contract quantity, or program timeline, as this is a pre-solicitation market research notice rather than a formal request for proposals. The NAICS category is identified as Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing (336413), with a PSC category of Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components (1680). No funds are available to reimburse companies for their responses to this notice, and all information submitted is strictly voluntary. The evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the Aviation Source Approval and Management Handbook (JACG SAM HB), which establishes standardized processes for source approval across military services and defense agencies, with particular emphasis on critical characteristics, quality control, traceability, and risk management for aviation components.

A SAR package contains all of the technical data needed to demonstrate that the prospective contractor can competently manufacture the product to the same level of quality, or better, than the required item. The onus is on the contractor to document and demonstrate their product is equal to, or better, than the currently approved item, which DLA Aviation is procuring.
If you are submitting a SAR for a LSN/NSN with no open solicitation, SARs must be submitted using the DoD SAFE file transmission site, https://safe.apps.mil/. The new process streamlines processing with electronic transmission and eliminates the need for multiple mailings of CDs.
