Knife, combat

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is procuring 273 units of combat knives under NSN 1095015984472 through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) process. The solicitation is available electronically only, with no hard copies, specifications, plans, or drawings provided to potential bidders. All responsible sources are eligible to submit quotes for consideration, provided they are submitted electronically and received by the October 20, 2025 deadline. The procurement has two approved sources identified as 041N2 583SBK and 0RAU7 30-000845, suggesting these are pre-qualified suppliers for this specific item. Contractors have just 11 days from the posting date to prepare and submit their electronic quotes.

This opportunity is designated as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to businesses meeting these specific ownership criteria. The delivery destination is specified as W1A8 DLA Distribution, with a delivery requirement of 249 days After Date of Order (ADO). The procurement falls under NAICS code 332215 for Metal Kitchen Cookware, Utensil, Cutlery, and Flatware Manufacturing and PSC code 10 for Weapons, indicating the combat knives will be manufactured items rather than commercial off-the-shelf products. No specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in the solicitation notice. The rapid turnaround time from solicitation posting to quote submission deadline suggests this may be a routine replenishment purchase for military inventory.
