About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for Project CM25171003 to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing an indicator light display (NSN 5980-01-203-9495, part number KW 205S-X). The procurement involves a specific optoelectronic device with stringent qualification requirements, as the item must be acquired from manufacturing sources specified on a source control or selected item drawing per DoD-STD-100 standards. Companies interested in becoming approved sources must submit a comprehensive Source Approval Request (SAR) package demonstrating their ability to manufacture the item to the same quality level or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer. The evaluation will focus on manufacturing capabilities, technical data adequacy, and compliance with military specifications. Responses to this sources sought notice must be submitted to Contract Specialist Mindy M Cook by July 14, 2025, with completed market research questionnaires due within 7 business days.

This procurement opportunity carries no set-aside designation and is open to all qualified manufacturers. WAMCO, Inc. is currently listed as the approved source and incumbent manufacturer for this indicator light component. While specific award values are not disclosed in the notice, the government indicates interest in establishing a Long Term Contract (LTC) or Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with a potential five-year base period. The procurement strategy aims to consolidate requirements into a single solicitation, which could provide contractors with reduced administrative costs and enhanced long-term production planning opportunities. The government emphasizes that this is strictly a market research initiative and not a formal solicitation, with no obligation to pay for information received from potential sources.
