About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen is conducting a market survey on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center for a 5-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) procurement of cables, conduits, and cable reels that support the Electric Power Plant (EPP III) for the PATRIOT Missile Defense System. The agency seeks brand name or equal alternatives to components currently supplied by VINCORION POWER SYSTEMS GMBH, including cable reels and various specialized cable assemblies identified by specific NSN numbers ranging from 6150-12-343-3731 to 8130-12-358-4625. Potential contractors must demonstrate capabilities in manufacturing electrical components, with evaluation focusing on past performance, engineering staff qualifications, obsolescence management processes, supply chain capabilities, and ability to meet government delivery requirements. The procurement applies to multiple NAICS codes including 335311, 335314, 335929, and 335931. Responses to the contractor questionnaire are due by October 14, 2025, with the sources sought announcement having been posted on October 1, 2025.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and is open to all qualified contractors. The current incumbent contractor is VINCORION POWER SYSTEMS GMBH (CAGE code D0857), which has been the established source for these critical PATRIOT missile defense system components. The government has acknowledged that it does not possess the technical data package for these parts and that the TDP is not available for release, making this market survey particularly important for identifying capable alternative suppliers. The procurement involves multiple specialized cable assemblies and one cable reel, with each item identified by specific part numbers beginning with prefixes like 180.01 for cable assemblies and 480.02 for the cable reel. While no specific contract values or quantities are mentioned in the sources sought notice, the 5-year IDIQ structure suggests a significant long-term procurement supporting ongoing maintenance and operational requirements for the PATRIOT missile defense system.
