Mechanism motor operator

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for a Mechanism Motor Operator, identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 6105-007696106. This is a market research initiative under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10 to identify potential manufacturers for a critical application item. The agency is specifically seeking information about manufacturers capable of producing this motor operator mechanism, with a requirement to provide their location, CAGE code, and point of contact details. L3Harris Maritime Power & Energy (CAGE 30086) is currently listed as the approved source with part number ETN6797. Interested suppliers must submit a complete data package including information for both approved and alternate parts, though alternate offers will not be considered for the current solicitation. The market research response deadline is December 25, 2024, and interested parties should forward their statement of interest and capability directly to Contracting Officer Helen Davis via email.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside status, suggesting the opportunity is open to all responsible sources. The estimated quantity demand is 40 units, with the agency planning to award a Firm Fixed Price Contract. No First Article Test is required, and no technical data is currently available for the mechanism motor operator. The market survey form indicates that cost/pricing data will not be needed for the eventual solicitation. Suppliers will be evaluated based on their manufacturing capabilities, company size, commercial item status, delivery timeframes, and SAM/ORCA certification status. While no specific budget range is disclosed, the critical nature of the item and the specific NSN suggest this is a specialized procurement targeting precise technical requirements for defense logistics infrastructure.
