About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking potential sources for eight National Stock Number (NSN) items, including packing retainers, hinges, chain assemblies, screws, mounting brackets, and gaskets. This pre-solicitation notice is designed to identify manufacturers capable of producing these specialized components, with a response deadline of May 16, 2025. The agency is specifically looking for companies that can demonstrate the ability to manufacture these items to the same or higher quality level as the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Interested companies can submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program, which requires comprehensive technical documentation proving manufacturing competence. The evaluation will focus on a company's capability to match or exceed the quality of currently approved sources like General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and others.

The pre-solicitation notice does not indicate a specific set-aside designation, meaning the opportunity is open to a broad range of potential contractors. Each of the eight NSN items already has approved sources, including major defense contractors and manufacturing companies. While no specific award value or budget range is mentioned, the notice suggests this is a competitive acquisition opportunity for manufacturers in the Bolt, Nut, Screw, Rivet, and Washer Manufacturing sector (NAICS 332722). The acquisition method codes indicate that these items are suitable for competitive acquisition and that the government holds complete technical data rights. Potential sources can review detailed technical drawings and specifications through the DIBBS (Defense Information Bid Board System) platform, specifically in the DLA Collaboration Folders section.
