About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a market survey for NSN 5340-01-340-2004, a lever lock-release component classified under NAICS code 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing). The agency is seeking to identify potential manufacturers who can produce this hardware item, which currently has an Acquisition Method Code (AMC) of "3D," meaning it must be acquired directly from the actual manufacturer due to lack of competitive technical data. The current approved source is Breeze Eastern LLC (CAGE code 08484, part number 15003-1), but DLA is actively seeking additional qualified sources through their Source Approval Request (SAR) program. Companies interested in becoming approved sources must demonstrate their ability to manufacture a product equal to or better than the original equipment manufacturer through comprehensive technical documentation. The response deadline for this market survey is close of business on October 17, 2025, with all information to be submitted directly to Contract Specialist Logan McLaughlin.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified manufacturers regardless of business size. Breeze Eastern LLC serves as the incumbent contractor and currently approved source for this lock-release lever component. The initial procurement requirement involves 45 units with a 100% option for an additional 90 units, potentially totaling 135 units if the option is exercised. The contract structure being considered is firm fixed-price, and the agency is conducting this market survey to assess manufacturing capabilities, delivery timelines, and commercial availability before moving forward with the formal solicitation process. Companies responding to the survey will need to provide detailed information about their manufacturing status, inventory capabilities, and ability to meet DLA's packaging and delivery requirements.
