NSN 5965014169564, parts kit, headset

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is seeking sources for NSN 5965014169564, a Parts Kit, Headset, through a sources sought notice issued under 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1) authority. This pre-solicitation notice is designed to identify potential manufacturers and alternative suppliers capable of producing this item, as the Government does not possess complete unrestrictive technical data from current approved sources. Interested contractors must respond to the market questionnaire with detailed capability information including company background, contract preferences, pricing structures, and commercial item documentation by February 26, 2026. A critical evaluation requirement is that alternate offerors must provide a complete data package encompassing both approved and alternate part specifications to be considered for evaluation. The Government anticipates issuing a future Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC/LTC) based on the market research findings, with responses to be submitted to Brandy.Warner@dla.mil.

This is not a small business set-aside. The current approved sources identified in the market research are PHT Aerospace LLC (CAGE 0KAA8, Part Number 158748) and Oregon Aero, Inc. (CAGE 83006E or 83006DM, Part Number 0WY76). The anticipated IQC/LTC contract will have a base period of three years with option periods, with the total contract duration potentially ranging from three to five years. The questionnaire specifically addresses pricing adjustment mechanisms, cost and pricing data requirements for contracts exceeding $2,000,000, and requirements for commercial item designation supported by published price lists, commercial sales history, and technical documentation. While specific quantity ranges and budget values are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, interested suppliers should be prepared to discuss minimum order quantities, estimated delivery timelines, and manufacturer capabilities in their responses.
