Prospective contractors must demonstrate the capability to complete First Article Testing (FAT) and commence delivery within 10 months of contract award, with the technical data package (TDP) at level 3 production information available for qualified respondents. Interested sources must submit TDP requests to DLA.Aberdeen.SourcesSought@dla.mil within 7 days of posting, obtain an approved DD2345, execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement, and verify their CAGE code status in the System for Award Management (SAM). The sources sought announcement was posted on January 16, 2026, with a response deadline of January 30, 2026, and evaluation will be based on contractors' technical expertise, supply chain management, production capabilities, and obsolescence mitigation strategies as detailed in the contractor questionnaire.
This is a pre-solicitation notice with no set-aside designation. The Mounting Base MT-6352/VRC (part number A3013367-1, CAGE code 80063) was previously procured under two Army contracts: SPRBL1-20-D-0010 and SPRBL1-20-D-0013, indicating established production and supply chain precedent. The announcement does not specify an award value or quantity in the provided documentation, though the focus is on identifying multiple qualified sources capable of supporting ongoing SINCGARS installation kit production. The technical data package is subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and will be released exclusively to U.S. persons through the DoD SAFE secure file transfer system. Respondents should be prepared to address their manufacturing experience with similar radio system components, production lead times, surge capacity capabilities, and strategies for managing component obsolescence in this critical military communications system.
