About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for a one-time procurement of electro-mechanical rotary actuator parts kits under NSN 3010016671438. This pre-solicitation notice is specifically for market research purposes only and does not constitute a request for quotes or proposals, with the actual solicitation to be posted separately at a later date. Currently, only one approved source exists for this requirement: Beaver Aerospace & Defense Inc. with part number J16116-700, as DLA lacks the technical data necessary to conduct a competitive procurement. Companies interested in becoming qualified as approved sources may submit applications through DLA's Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires comprehensive technical documentation demonstrating manufacturing capability equal to or better than the original equipment manufacturer. Interested vendors must complete and return the attached market survey questionnaire to Jacob McGee at Jacob.mcgee@dla.mil by close of business on October 13, 2025.

This procurement opportunity has no set-aside designation and falls under NAICS code 333612 for Speed Changer, Industrial High-Speed Drive, and Gear Manufacturing. The current incumbent contractor is Beaver Aerospace & Defense Inc. (CAGE code 088K1), which holds the sole approved source status for part number J16116-700. The government seeks to procure an estimated quantity of 269 kits of these electro-mechanical parts, though no specific contract value or budget range has been disclosed in this market research phase. The procurement is classified as a firm fixed-price contract opportunity, and the timeline for the actual solicitation and contract award has not yet been established, pending the completion of this market survey phase.
