Sources Sought 3 NSNs LTC CM25265006

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for three specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs) related to filter elements used in military applications. This pre-solicitation notice represents a market research opportunity designed to identify potential manufacturers and validate existing supply chain capabilities for fluid filter components. The government has already identified four approved sources: Pacific Consolidated Industries LLC, Brighton Cromwell LLC, Donaldson Company, Inc., and Wix Corp. The primary objective is to consolidate manufacturing sources and explore opportunities for a long-term contract structure that could reduce administrative costs and enable improved production planning. Interested parties must submit information about their manufacturing capabilities and interest in a potential long-term contract directly to Sarah Schaff at Sarah.Schaff@dla.mil. The response deadline is November 7, 2025, providing respondents with one week to evaluate the opportunity and submit their qualifications. The questionnaire requests critical information including business size classification, current manufacturing status, pricing flexibility, and willingness to participate in a multi-year contract arrangement with potential option years.

This is a pre-solicitation notice with no set-aside designations currently applied. The identified current and potential sources include Pacific Consolidated Industries LLC (CAGE 75906), Brighton Cromwell LLC (CAGE 3NNX8), Donaldson Company, Inc. (CAGE 18265), and Wix Corp (CAGE 79396), suggesting an existing supply base that the government seeks to evaluate and potentially consolidate. The procurement involves three distinct NSNs across product categories classified under PSC 4330 (Centrifugals, Separators, and Pressure and Vacuum Filters) and NAICS 333998 (All Other Miscellaneous General Purpose Machinery Manufacturing). While specific award values and quantity requirements are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the government is exploring a consolidated long-term contract structure with a proposed three-year base period and option years to streamline procurement processes. The market research phase precedes formal solicitation, indicating that detailed contract terms, quantities, and pricing structures will be established following the sources sought process.
