Project CM23230001

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research for a potential Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) to procure multiple military equipment components, specifically focusing on NSN-listed items including pump housings, shafts, impellers, valve assemblies, pump units, hoses, and diesel engines. The agency is seeking potential manufacturers who can demonstrate the ability to produce these items with equivalent or superior quality to the current Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). Interested suppliers are invited to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package, which must comprehensively document their technical capabilities and manufacturing processes. Potential contractors must prove they can meet the high-quality standards required for military equipment, with the onus on the supplier to demonstrate product equivalence or superiority. The market research questionnaire requires detailed responses within 5 business days, and suppliers are expected to provide information about their business size, manufacturing status, contract preferences, and pricing structures.

The pre-solicitation notice is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, with the current primary contractor being W S Darley & CO (CAGE Code 15852). While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract is anticipated to be a three-year base contract with potential option years. The solicitation covers eight specific National Stock Number (NSN) items across various product categories including fluid power pump and motor manufacturing. Potential suppliers can submit their information and application packages directly to Suzanne Maginn via email at Suzanne.Maginn@dla.mil or by phone at 614-692-7055. The DLA's primary objective is to expand its pool of qualified suppliers for these critical military equipment components, with a focus on maintaining high-quality standards and ensuring reliable supply chain capabilities for military procurement needs.
