About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen, acting on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center, is conducting a Sources Sought Announcement (SSA) for procurement of specific electronic components for the Simple Key Loader (SKL) 3.1 system. The opportunity involves acquiring Light Emitting Diodes, circuit cards, and fiber components with specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) and part numbers. The agency is seeking potential manufacturers or distributors who can demonstrate capabilities to supply these specialized electronic parts through documentation including questionnaires, First Article Testing results, previous government contract information, and data rights documentation. Interested vendors must submit their response materials via email by December 1, 2024, including their company name, CAGE code, and technical point of contact details. This SSA is explicitly for market research and planning purposes, and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of contract award.

The procurement involves multiple quantities of electronic components across fiscal years 2025 and 2026, with 177 Light Emitting Diodes in FY25 and 7 in FY26, 100 circuit cards in each fiscal year, and 209 fiber components in both FY25 and FY26. The opportunity is currently not set aside for any specific business classification, though the government will use the gathered information to determine if the procurement could be competed or set aside for small businesses. The parts are associated with NAICS category 334418 for Printed Circuit Assembly Manufacturing and PSC category 5980 for Optoelectronic Devices. The contract is being managed by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, with responses to be evaluated based on manufacturing capabilities, past performance, and potential to meet the government's specific technical requirements for the SKL 3.1 system.
