About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is seeking potential sources for a Pin, Firing component with National Stock Number (NSN) 1005-01-033-1523. The current approved source is FN America (CAGE 3S679) with part number 11826005, and the agency is conducting market research to explore alternative or additional qualified manufacturers. This procurement requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain part quality, with strict qualification procedures that mandate potential contractors demonstrate their ability to produce items equal to or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Interested companies must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package through DLA Land and Maritime's Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program, documenting their technical capabilities and manufacturing competence. The response deadline for this pre-solicitation notice is February 10, 2025, with all information to be submitted directly to Contract Specialist Karin Wilson at Karin.wilson@dla.mil.
The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, suggesting the opportunity is open to a broad range of manufacturers in the Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332994). While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement appears structured as a potential Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a three-year base period and up to two additional option years. The market survey accompanying the notice requests detailed information about potential suppliers' business status, commercial item determination, pricing data, and delivery capabilities. FN America currently holds the primary manufacturing approval, but DLA is seeking to expand its approved source list for this critical component. Companies interested in qualifying must demonstrate they can meet the stringent technical and quality requirements specified by the government's design control activity.
