About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is soliciting proposals for specialized shipping and storage containers, specifically NSN 6K-8145-016462278-E8 (TDP VER 006). This is a pre-solicitation notice for a part that requires engineering source approval by the design control activity to maintain quality standards. The procurement is limited to Government-approved sources only, as the item is flight critical and existing qualified sources possess unique design capabilities, manufacturing knowledge, and technical data that are not economically available elsewhere. Prospective contractors who are not currently approved sources must submit source approval information detailed in the NAVSUP Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) Source Approval Information Brochures, along with their proposals, demonstrating their technical qualifications and production experience. Evaluation will focus on source approval status and technical capability to produce or repair the item in accordance with Government specifications. The due date for proposals is April 13, 2026, with the notice posted on March 24, 2026.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is open only to previously Government-approved sources for this specific item. The contract calls for a delivery quantity of 35 units with FOB Origin shipping terms. No specific award value or budget range is provided in the pre-solicitation notice. The notice does not identify any current incumbents or contractors, though the emphasis on existing approved sources suggests there are established vendors currently qualified to produce this item. Prospective bidders should note that the timeline for approval of new sources is typically insufficient to delay contract award, making it critical for non-approved sources to initiate the qualification process immediately if they wish to compete.

An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.

The subject item requires Government source approval prior to contract award, as the item is flight critical and/or the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support acquisition via full and open competition. Only the source(s) previously approved by the Government for this item have been solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source.
