About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for NSN 3040-013578756, a shouldered shaft component used in mechanical power transmission applications. This pre-solicitation notice seeks to identify potential manufacturers interested in producing this specialized item, which is currently a restricted source item requiring engineering source approval to maintain quality standards. The procurement will target businesses operating under NAICS code 333613 (Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment Manufacturing) with a size standard of 750 employees, and the eventual solicitation will be structured as a long-term contract with a three-year base period and optional extension years. Interested suppliers must demonstrate unique design capabilities, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge equivalent to the current approved source, and any alternate manufacturer must complete a rigorous qualification process approved by the cognizant government engineering activity. The market research phase requires completion of an attached questionnaire and spreadsheet, with responses due to Samantha Simms at samantha.simms@dla.mil by July 28, 2025.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to full and open competition among qualified sources. The Entwistle Company LLC (CAGE code 20722) currently serves as the sole approved source for part number 4524730-2, holding essential data rights and manufacturing knowledge that are not economically available to the government. The estimated annual demand quantity is relatively modest at 40 units per year, with each unit priced individually, though the total contract value is not specified in the notice. The procurement timeline anticipates a separate formal solicitation to be published following completion of this market research phase, with the ultimate goal of establishing either firm fixed-price or fixed-price with economic price adjustment contract structures. Companies with contracts exceeding $2 million must be prepared to provide certified cost or pricing data, and all potential suppliers should demonstrate relevant commercial sales history in similar mechanical transmission components.
