This pre-solicitation notice is not a formal solicitation but rather a sources sought inquiry to determine the most appropriate procurement method and identify interested parties with manufacturing capacity. Interested organizations must submit tailored capability statements along with supporting documentation demonstrating organizational and staff capability by April 10, 2026. Responses should include the organization's name, address, email address, and telephone number, and must be submitted via email to virginia.rhodes@dla.mil. The government will use the information gathered to assess market availability and determine procurement strategy, though no formal evaluation criteria or scoring methodology is specified at this stage since this is preliminary market research rather than a competitive solicitation.

This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors or current suppliers. The government estimates a requirement for 31 units of the coupling assembly, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this market research phase. Interested parties must submit Source Approval Requests through a DoDSafe link, which can be obtained by emailing dlaavnsmallbus@dla.mil with the subject line "Request a SAR drop off" and including their CAGE code, the NSN, and their preferred email address.

Potential bidders should note that telephone inquiries will not be accepted or acknowledged, and the government assumes no financial responsibility for costs incurred in preparing responses to this market research inquiry.
