About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure an internal combustion engine piston (NSN: 2815-01-281-1410) through a pre-solicitation notice. The agency is specifically looking for manufacturers or vendors who can meet stringent engineering and manufacturing qualifications for this critical component. Current approved sources are required to demonstrate unique design capabilities, engineering skills, and specialized manufacturing knowledge essential to maintaining the part's quality. Potential contractors must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package that thoroughly documents their ability to manufacture the product at an equal or superior level to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Interested parties must submit their information directly to Contract Specialist William Perez (william.perez@dla.mil) by May 16, 2025, with the understanding that an alternate source must qualify through procedures approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.
This pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, and no incumbent contractors are explicitly named in the document. While specific award values are not disclosed, the procurement process emphasizes technical qualifications over financial considerations. The solicitation falls under the NAICS category 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) and PSC category 2815 (Diesel Engines And Components), suggesting a specialized and technical procurement process. Fairbanks Morse is identified as an approved source, and any new potential manufacturers must undergo a rigorous qualification process to be considered. The DLA Land and Maritime will evaluate submissions based on technical competence, manufacturing capabilities, and the ability to maintain or exceed the current quality standards of the approved sources.
