About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is conducting market research to identify potential contractors capable of manufacturing and supplying solid-state lasers (NSN 5860-01-618-0130) with part number MPM-906-A2. This sources sought notice represents preliminary market research to determine the appropriate procurement method and identify viable sources beyond the current single approved supplier. Interested contractors must demonstrate organizational capacity, technical expertise, and project management capability, including the ability to meet tight program schedules, maintain cost containment, and successfully track compliance requirements. The government will evaluate responses based on organizational and staff capability, availability of financial and human capital resources, and the ability to implement a successful project management plan. Responses must be submitted via email to michelle.r.scott@dla.mil, with a deadline of November 10, 2025; notably, this is a voluntary market research request with no financial obligation to the government for response costs.

This procurement includes no set-aside designation and will proceed as either a small business set-aside or full and open competition, with the possibility of multiple awards being made. Intelligent Manufacturing Solutions (6FQM4) is currently the only approved source of supply for this requirement. The estimated requirement encompasses 9,070 units of the solid-state laser, representing a potentially significant procurement volume. The applicable NAICS code is 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), with the PSC category classified as 5860 (Stimulated Coherent Radiation Devices, Components, and Accessories). While specific budget information is not disclosed in this sources sought notice, the substantial unit quantity suggests a material contract value that could merit significant business development efforts from qualified manufacturers.
