About this opportunity

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research through this Sources Sought notice to identify potential manufacturers for eight National Stock Numbers covering audio equipment components, including headsets, microphones, loudspeakers, and electrical components. The primary objective is to develop a consolidated long-term contract strategy for these items, with the government seeking vendor input on contract structure, pricing stability, production capabilities, and willingness to participate in a multi-year acquisition approach. Current approved sources include DRS Technologies Canada Ltd., Sennheiser Electronic Corp., Pivotal Power Inc., and Laurel Technologies Partnership, though the government is actively seeking additional qualified manufacturers through this market research phase. Interested vendors must respond to the market research questionnaire by December 19, 2025, providing detailed information about their capabilities, cost structures, and commercial item status. Companies not currently listed as approved sources may apply for qualification through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program by submitting comprehensive technical data packages demonstrating manufacturing capability equal to or exceeding Original Equipment Manufacturer standards.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is expected to result in a three-year base contract with optional extension periods to support warfighter requirements. The currently approved sources represent the only eligible contractors for immediate consideration, with DRS Technologies Canada Ltd. appearing as a source across multiple CLINs, alongside specialized suppliers such as Sennheiser Electronic Corp. for audio components and Laurel Technologies Partnership for specific headset-microphone configurations. While specific award values and quantities are not disclosed in the pre-solicitation notice, the consolidation of eight distinct NSNs into a single contract vehicle suggests a substantial procurement intended to streamline supply chain management across multiple audio and communication equipment categories. The market research phase emphasizes the government's interest in understanding supplier capacity for stable pricing, minimum delivery quantities, and compliance with commercial item standards to support the development of a competitive and efficient long-term contract award.
