About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking to procure a Ring Gauge Assembly (NSN 4920-01-189-8711) through this pre-solicitation notice posted on April 17, 2026. The contract specialist for this opportunity is Logan McLaughlin (Logan.McLaughlin@dla.mil). This procurement is classified under NAICS code 334519 (Precision Instrument and Related Products Manufacturing) and PSC 4920 (Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Shop Specialized Equipment). The government is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources capable of manufacturing this item, with responses due by April 24, 2026, and the formal solicitation anticipated by April 23, 2026. Prospective suppliers must demonstrate manufacturing capability equivalent to or exceeding original equipment manufacturer (OEM) quality standards, provide detailed pricing information with potential quantity/price breaks, and confirm willingness to accept Firm Fixed Price contracts with F.O.B. Origin terms. Companies interested in becoming approved sources may submit applications through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires comprehensive technical data demonstrating manufacturing competency.
This pre-solicitation notice involves no set-aside designation and currently identifies BAE Systems Controls Inc. as the sole approved source, with their part numbers 172BS112-1 (CAGE 89954) and 188C1440G1. The government is seeking to procure 4 units with an option for an additional 4 units (representing a 100 percent option). The item is designated as AMSC Q, indicating the government lacks adequate data or rights to data for competitive procurement despite 12 or more months of full screening; however, current actions suggest breakout to competition may be achievable. Specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice. The government is actively encouraging alternative sources to submit proposals and technical documentation to demonstrate their capability to manufacture these precision instruments, recognizing this as a candidate for reverse engineering or alternative sourcing strategies to enable future competitive procurement.
