Plug, protective, DUS

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is soliciting quotes for 2,000 units of protective dust plugs (NSN 5340015008296) through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) mechanism. This hardware manufacturing procurement falls under PSC code 53 (Hardware and Abrasives) and is open to all responsible sources, with quotes to be submitted electronically by the January 8, 2026 deadline. The solicitation does not specify detailed evaluation criteria beyond standard responsibility requirements, and all timely received quotes from qualified vendors will receive consideration. Specifications, plans, and drawings are not available through the solicitation notice, with all procurement details and technical requirements available only through the electronic RFQ link. Questions regarding this opportunity should be submitted prior to the deadline, as hard copies of the solicitation documents are not distributed.

This procurement is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, restricting competition to certified small business concerns. The contract specifies delivery to DLA Distribution San Joaquin (W1A8) within 21 days of award, establishing a compressed delivery timeline for the successful vendor. Seven approved sources are listed as potential contractors: 1F103 1G04444H06; 31442 1G04435 FIND 026; 31442 1G04444H06; 31442 1G04473 FIND 026; 31442 PL1G04435 FIND 026; 31442 PL1G04444H06; and 31442 PL1G04473 FIND 026. While no specific award value or budget range is provided in the notice, the relatively modest quantity of 2,000 units suggests a smaller contract value suitable for small business participation.
