Market survey for FSC 5920 - electrical arrester

The General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service Assisted Acquisition Services Region 7 is conducting a market survey for electrical surge arresters with three specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs): 5920-01-422-8851, 5920-01-422-8857, and 5920-01-422-8867. The survey aims to gather critical vendor information about electrical protection devices, including brand names, part numbers, country of origin, minimum order quantities, delivery timelines, and current commercial pricing. Vendors must confirm their ability to meet precise technical specifications, such as UL 1449 listing, outlet configurations, cord length, circuit breaker ratings, voltage, and surge protection levels. The market survey requires vendors to submit comprehensive responses by March 13, 2025, directly to Laura Garcia via email. Evaluation criteria will focus on vendors' manufacturing capabilities, business size, technical compliance, and potential to fulfill future Request for Quotation (RFQ) requirements.

The procurement does not include any specific set-aside designations, indicating the opportunity is open to all qualified vendors. While no incumbent contractors are explicitly mentioned, the survey targets the "All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing" NAICS category (335999) and the Product Service Code 5920 for fuses, arrestors, absorbers, and protectors. The specific quantity of electrical surge arresters is not definitively stated in the pre-solicitation notice, suggesting that the market survey is a preliminary step to assess potential supply capabilities. Vendors will need to provide detailed information about their minimum order quantities and expected delivery timelines, which will likely inform the subsequent procurement strategy. The market survey represents a strategic approach by GSA to understand current market conditions, vendor capabilities, and potential pricing for these critical electrical protection devices before initiating a formal solicitation.
