The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought market research effort for the procurement of safe belts and buckles across three National Stock Numbers (NSNs): 2540-014684854 (Belt, Vehicular Safe), 2540-015419228 (Belt, Vehicular Safe), and 5340-015422001 (Buckle). This pre-solicitation notice seeks input from potential suppliers to inform the development of an Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) strategy that will be advantageous to both the warfighter and contractor. The government is requesting that interested contractors provide comprehensive market intelligence including company qualifications, manufacturing or distribution capabilities, manufacturer information, cost or pricing data capabilities, commercial item classifications, and production limitations. The evaluation will consider suppliers' ability to meet long-term contract requirements, quantity price breaks, delivery timelines, and minimum delivery order requirements across the proposed three-year base period with option years. Responses to the market research questionnaire must be submitted by March 19, 2026 (within 5 business days of posting) directly to Contract Specialist Michael J. Allen at Michael.2.allen@dla.mil.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation. AMSAFE, INC (CAGE Code 35FB9) is currently the only approved source listed for these items. The government has not disclosed specific award values or budget information in the pre-solicitation notice. Estimated annual demand quantities vary by NSN, ranging from 30 units for one belt configuration to 1,284 units for the buckle component. The applicable NAICS codes are 336360 (Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and 332510 (Hardware Manufacturing), reflecting the industrial classification of the required components. Contractors responding to this market research should be prepared to provide detailed information on their manufacturing capabilities, pricing structures across various quantity levels, and estimated delivery timelines to support the DLA's solicitation development process.
