LTC for NSN: 2910013618229

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers for a fluid filter (NSN 2910-013618229) through a sources sought notice. Interested businesses must complete a comprehensive market survey questionnaire and spreadsheet and submit them to Marshall Lynn at marshall.lynn@dla.mil by January 15th, 2026. The procurement seeks to gather detailed information from potential contractors regarding their manufacturing capabilities, inventory levels, pricing flexibility, delivery timelines, testing willingness, packaging compliance, and commercial item status. Key contract requirements include adherence to MIL-STD-2073-1E packaging standards, MIL-STD-129 marking instructions, and compliance with the DLA Master List of Technical and Quality Requirements. The item is classified as a Critical Application Item and is designated for CONUS delivery through DLA Direct. While formal evaluation criteria will be detailed in the full solicitation, the market research phase is designed to generate realistic solicitation parameters and identify capable sources capable of meeting technical specifications.

This procurement carries no small business set-aside designation. Parker-Hannifin Corporation is currently listed as an approved source for this NSN with part number 455R-SS-01. The solicitation will be structured as an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a one to three-year base period and up to four option years, though specific award values and minimum order quantities will be determined during the formal solicitation process. The formal solicitation notice will be synopsized separately following the market research phase, with the January 15th, 2026 deadline serving as the response deadline for the initial sources sought questionnaire. While specific contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the long-term nature of the IQC structure and potential option years indicate a significant, sustained procurement requirement for this fluid filter product.
