Parts kit. Regulator

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a market research survey for a critical safety item: a Parts Kit, Regulator with National Stock Number (NSN) 4240-014391355. The agency is seeking potential manufacturers capable of producing this Navy-identified component, with an expectation that vendors will provide comprehensive manufacturer details including location, CAGE code, and point of contact information. Currently, Mission Systems Orchard Park Inc is the approved source for this item, with part number F417-1012-3. Interested vendors must submit a complete data package for both approved and alternate parts, though alternate offers will not be considered for the current solicitation. The market research survey responses are due by March 18, 2025, and should be forwarded to Contracting Officer Helen Davis via email.

No specific set-aside has been designated for this procurement, and while the exact award value is not specified, the market research suggests a requirement for 968 units of the regulator parts kit. The solicitation emphasizes that this is a Sources Sought Notice, primarily aimed at gathering market intelligence rather than issuing an immediate solicitation. Potential suppliers will need to demonstrate manufacturing capabilities, commercial item status, inventory availability, and willingness to pursue a firm fixed price contract. The critical nature of the item as a Navy Safety Component means vendors must provide robust technical documentation and manufacturing specifications. Responses will be evaluated based on the completeness of information provided, manufacturing capabilities, and potential to meet the Defense Logistics Agency's stringent requirements.
