NSN: 2590-01-183-6816 support, retractable

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify manufacturers capable of producing NSN 2590-01-183-6816, a retractable support item classified under truck trailer manufacturing (NAICS 336212) and miscellaneous vehicular components (PSC 2590). This pre-solicitation notice seeks information from potential suppliers regarding their manufacturing capabilities, locations, and points of contact to inform the development of an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC/Long-Term Contract) solicitation strategy. Key requirements under consideration include cost or pricing data submission capabilities, commercial item status verification, delivery capabilities, minimum order quantities, and production limitations. The market research questionnaire requests responses covering general company information, long-term contract preferences (including base period structure, option years, and quantity price breaks), cost data requirements, and evidence of price reasonableness. The response deadline for this market research phase is May 1, 2026, with all information to be submitted to Mr. Daniel Howser at Daniel.Howser@dla.mil or 614-693-3072.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to small business concerns. The pre-solicitation notice does not identify current incumbents or existing contractors, as this market research phase precedes formal solicitation. No specific award value or budget range is disclosed in the notice; however, the questionnaire notes that contracts estimated over $2,000,000 may require certified cost or pricing data. The spreadsheet template requests estimated annual demand quantities and quantity price break ranges, but specific volume or timeline details are not provided in this preliminary market research stage. Interested parties, including manufacturers and distributors, are encouraged to respond with manufacturer identification, geographic location (city, state, or country), and relevant points of contact to support DLA's vendor base development and acquisition strategy planning.
