Interested companies must submit responses by January 27, 2026, at 6:00 AM Eastern Standard Time. It is important to note that this is a source-controlled item, meaning DLA cannot approve sources directly; instead, companies interested in qualifying their products for future acquisitions must contact the Design Control Activity specified on the source control drawing. No funds are available to compensate respondents for preparation costs, and all submissions are strictly voluntary with no obligation for the government to take further action based on responses received.

This notice represents an early market research phase rather than an active solicitation, meaning potential bidders should view this as an opportunity to express capability and interest while preparing for potential future procurement activity. Companies responding should be aware that the incumbent supplier information is provided solely for reference purposes and does not guarantee continued sourcing from that vendor.
