The Defense Logistics Agency Aviation is seeking to procure specialized shipping and storage containers under PSC Category 8145. This pre-solicitation notice indicates that the government lacks sufficient, accurate, or legible data to source this part or contract repair from suppliers other than the current source, suggesting a potential single-source procurement situation. The specific item being procured is identified as NSN 6K-8145-017035667-QE, TDP Version 003, with Reference Number 953E001. While detailed evaluation criteria are not explicitly outlined in this pre-solicitation notice, the government's stated inability to access adequate technical data from alternative sources will likely be a determining factor in the award decision. Interested parties should note that the pre-solicitation notice was posted on December 2, 2025, with a due date for responses or questions anticipated by January 19, 2026.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, making it available to all qualified contractors. The notice does not identify any specific incumbent or current contractor by name, though the language regarding data availability suggests there is an existing source relationship. The quantity required is 13 units, with delivery on a Free on Board Origin basis, though no specific award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice. The absence of detailed financial information and the emphasis on the government's data limitations suggest that this may proceed as a sole-source award to the current supplier unless additional qualified sources can demonstrate access to equivalent technical documentation and manufacturing capability.
