Sources Sought, 5 NSNs, LTC CM25139001

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought notice for five National Stock Number (NSN) items related to compressor components, including a crankshaft, piston, cylinder, air cleaner, and moisture trap. The agency seeks to identify potential manufacturers capable of producing these precision mechanical components for a future Long-Term Contract (LTC) solicitation with a three-year base contract and option years. Currently, these items are only sourced from J.P. Sauer & Sohn Maschinebau GMBH and Sauer Compressors USA, Inc., and the government is looking to identify additional or alternative manufacturing sources. The market research questionnaire requests detailed information from potential suppliers regarding business size, manufacturing capabilities, pricing structures, commercial item status, and production limitations. All responses must be submitted directly to Sarah Schaff, Contract Specialist, at Sarah.Schaff@dla.mil by the July 16, 2025 deadline. The evaluation will focus on identifying market availability, pricing, and potential sources that can meet the government's requirements for these specific compressor-related components.

This procurement opportunity has no set-aside designation and is open to all qualified suppliers. The current approved sources are J.P. Sauer & Sohn Maschinebau GMBH (CAGE D8265) and Sauer Compressors USA, Inc. (CAGE 1KWT0), who manufacture various part numbers for each of the five NSN items. The notice does not specify award values or budget ranges, as this is a market research phase preceding the formal solicitation. The opportunity covers five distinct contract line items (CLINs) corresponding to the five NSN items, with multiple part numbers and manufacturers currently approved for some items. Potential suppliers have a five-business-day response window to complete and return the market research survey, which will help DLA generate a realistic solicitation structure. The ultimate goal is to establish a long-term contracting vehicle that benefits both the warfighter and participating contractors while potentially expanding the supplier base beyond the current two approved sources.
