Sources Sought 12 NSN LTC CM25177008

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought notice to identify manufacturers capable of producing various pipe and hose fittings under twelve specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) within NAICS code 332996 for Fabricated Pipe and Pipe Fitting Manufacturing. The agency is requesting information about potential manufacturers, including their locations and points of contact, which should be submitted to Stephanie Frederick at Stephanie.Frederick@dla.mil or by phone at 614-692-5757. Companies interested in becoming approved sources must demonstrate their ability to manufacture products at the same quality level or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer through DLA's Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. The SAR application package requires comprehensive technical documentation proving manufacturing competency and product equivalency to currently approved items. Interested parties have until September 17, 2025, to respond to this sources sought notice, with responses due eight days after the September 9, 2025 posting date.

This pre-solicitation notice does not utilize any set-aside designations and appears to be open to all qualified manufacturers regardless of business size or socioeconomic status. The specific NSNs referenced include items such as 4730-00-053-0379, 4730-00-541-6607, 4730-00-652-4626, and nine additional part numbers spanning both 4730 and 4720 product service codes for hose, pipe, tube, lubrication, and railing fittings. No incumbent contractors, current suppliers, or potential award values are mentioned in the notice, as this appears to be an early market research effort to expand the supplier base. The notice does not specify quantities needed or delivery timelines, focusing instead on identifying and qualifying additional manufacturing sources through the formal SAR approval process. Companies responding will need to provide manufacturing location details, whether domestic or international, along with appropriate contact information for further evaluation.
