The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify potential manufacturers for NSN 6160-01-521-3064, a battery box component classified under Power, Distribution, and Specialty Transformer Manufacturing (NAICS 335311). This pre-solicitation notice seeks information from qualified suppliers regarding their manufacturing capabilities, pricing structures, and capacity to support a proposed long-term contract. Interested parties must respond to a detailed questionnaire within five business days of receipt, providing company information, production capabilities, minimum order quantities, and delivery timeframes. The government will evaluate responses based on suppliers' ability to provide competitive pricing, meet delivery requirements, demonstrate manufacturing capability, and commit to long-term supply arrangements. All inquiries and supplier information should be directed to Mr. Daniel Howser at Daniel.Howser@dla.mil or 614-693-3072, with a pre-solicitation deadline of May 8, 2026.

This procurement is set aside exclusively for total small business participation, limiting competition to qualifying small business concerns. Moldtronics Inc. (CAGE code 25435) has been identified as a current source with part number 987-6641-001, demonstrating an estimated annual demand of 1,782 units. The government is considering an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) structure with a proposed three-year base period and option years, though specific award values and budget ranges have not been disclosed at this pre-solicitation stage. Suppliers must be prepared to provide cost and pricing data for contracts potentially exceeding $2,000,000 and demonstrate fair and reasonable pricing for commercial items through catalogs, sales history, and evidence of commercial market sales outside government channels. Prospective bidders should note that the questionnaire requires indication of willingness to supply certified cost or pricing data and clarification of manufacturer versus distributor status.
