About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources sought inquiry for eight National Stock Numbers (NSNs) encompassing various military vehicle and weapons system components, including covers, connecting links, anchors, towbars, adapters, gearshift assemblies, breechblock rods, and howitzer control levers. The government is considering a long-term contract with a potential five-year period of performance including option periods, and responses must demonstrate the company's capacity to support such an extended commitment. Interested vendors must possess an active Enhanced Joint Certification Program (eJCP) certification due to export control requirements under ITAR and/or EAR regulations, as all NSNs are export-controlled items. Companies must demonstrate experience with contracts of similar size, scope, and value to qualify for consideration. The response deadline for this sources sought notice is September 15, 2025, with responses due by that date to be considered for the potential future solicitation.
This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and no current contractors or incumbents are identified in the notice. The estimated total annual demand value across all eight NSNs is approximately $1.44 million, with individual line items ranging from $6,499 for chain adapters to nearly $1.3 million for motor vehicle towbars. Annual demand quantities vary significantly, from 8 units for both chain adapters and gearshift assemblies to 533 units for towbars, with a total estimated annual demand of 820 units across all NSNs. All items have been classified with Acquisition Method Code 1/G, indicating they are suitable for competitive acquisition as second or subsequent procurements with complete government technical data rights and no manufacturing restrictions. The five-year contract period represents a substantial commitment that could total over $7 million in value based on the annual estimates provided.
