Solicitation to procure an Indicator Panel, NICN 0JM 0098 LLH7E1874

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime issued a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for the procurement of one Indicator Panel, NICN 0JM 0098 (Part Number 8290612), classified under PSC 4921 for torpedo maintenance, repair, and checkout specialized equipment. The solicitation was conducted under Special Emergency Procurement Authority (SEPA) and required government source inspection prior to shipment. Key requirements included traceability documentation, supply chain documentation from distributors or dealers, identification of manufacturer sources, and packaging compliance with MIL-STD-2073. The evaluation criteria prioritized past performance as more important than price, with the government planning to make a single award to the eligible, responsible, and technically acceptable offeror. The original solicitation closing date was extended through multiple amendments, with the final deadline set for September 19, 2025 at 4:30 PM local time; however, the entire solicitation was subsequently canceled effective September 23, 2025.

This procurement was not designated as a set-aside for any specific category, though the RFQ documentation indicated it was being conducted as a small business procurement. No incumbent contractor or award value was specified in the solicitation documents. The requirement consisted of a single Indicator Panel unit with a shelf life of 0-00, to be delivered to a place of performance within the United States. Interested parties were required to submit an email address with their offers and comply with federal contracting regulations including safeguarding of covered defense information and cyber incident reporting requirements. The solicitation was ultimately canceled before the final deadline, rendering it no longer available for competitive bidding.
