Market Survey Notice for Procurement of multiple NSNs for AN/VIC-3 System:

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a market survey to procure multiple National Stock Number (NSN) cable assemblies for the AN/VIC-3 Vehicle Intercommunication System used in Army ground vehicles. The agency is seeking to identify capable small business partners who can manufacture 28 specific cable assemblies, with a focus on evaluating vendor capabilities through a comprehensive contractor questionnaire. Key evaluation criteria include the vendor's company background, past performance, engineering qualifications, obsolescence management processes, and ability to meet government delivery requirements. The market research aims to assess technical competence and supply chain readiness for supporting these critical intercom system components. Vendors must submit their responses by April 4, 2025, with the government possessing the Technical Data Package and intending to utilize an existing Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Interconnection Equipment Contract that runs through December 17, 2029.

This market survey does not currently have a specific set-aside designation, though there is an expressed interest in potentially establishing a small business set-aside for the future procurement. The procurement will leverage an existing IDIQ contract with an ordering period from December 18, 2019, through December 17, 2029. While specific award values are not detailed in the documents, the procurement involves 28 distinct cable assembly NSNs critical for ground vehicle operations. The questionnaire explores vendors' preferences for spot buy and fixed quantity procurement, current product inventory status, and potential supply chain constraints that might impact delivery schedules. The government's primary objective is to identify competitive sources capable of manufacturing these complex technological cable assemblies with high reliability and consistent delivery performance.
