Padlock

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for padlocks, specifically NSN 5340014494346, through a competitive procurement open to all responsible sources. The solicitation requires electronic submission of quotes, with a deadline of January 23, 2026. Two line items comprise the procurement: Line 0001 requests 135 padlocks for delivery to DLA Distribution facility W1A8 within 340 days after date of order, while Line 0002 requests 1 padlock for delivery to the same location within 120 days after date of order. This is a hardware manufacturing procurement (NAICS 332510) classified under the Hardware and Abrasives product service code (PSC 53). While the solicitation notice does not explicitly specify evaluation criteria, standard federal procurement principles would apply, emphasizing factors such as price, quality, delivery capability, and contractor responsibility.

This solicitation is designated as a HUBZone set-aside, limiting competition to HUBZone-certified small businesses. The notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific budget information or award values. The procurement represents a relatively modest quantity requirement—135 units in the primary line item and 1 unit in the secondary line—suggesting this is a routine supply replenishment for the Defense Logistics Agency. Delivery will be consolidated to a single DLA Distribution facility (W1A8), streamlining logistics for the government. Interested HUBZone-certified contractors should prepare their electronic quotes for submission by the January 23, 2026 deadline.
