About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen, on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center, is seeking sources to procure or repair three Air Traffic Control (ATC) support components: a Processor, Signal DA (NSN 5895-01-623-8439); Cable, Special Purpose (NSN 6145-01-589-2110); and Cable Assembly, Spec (NSN 5995-01-624-4533). Interested suppliers must demonstrate their capability to repair or provide physically and functionally repaired components through documentation such as testing results, purchase order history, or statements from original sources confirming the supplier's ability to deliver solutions. Evaluation criteria include past performance on similar manufacturing or supply contracts, engineering staff qualifications for design and production, experience with test equipment, and capability to manage obsolescence issues and identify alternative materials. Suppliers must also demonstrate their ability to meet U.S. Government delivery requirements and willingness to accommodate Spot Buy and Fixed Quantity ordering preferences. Responses to this Sources Sought Announcement are due by March 23, 2026, and companies requesting Technical Data Packages (TDP) must submit requests to DLA.Aberdeen.SourcesSought@dla.mil within seven days of the posting date (by March 16, 2026).
This announcement includes no set-aside designation and does not identify any incumbent contractors. The Army's estimated initial production quantities are two units of the Processor, Signal DA; nine units of the Cable, Special Purpose; and two units of the Cable Assembly, Spec, though the notice explicitly states these quantities are estimations and not guaranteed, with final quantities to be determined at time of formal solicitation. Interested vendors must possess an active Defense Logistics Agency Joint Certification Program (JCP) status with an approved DD2345 certificate to access the TDP, which is subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) restrictions. The Government owns the TDP for the Processor, Signal DA; does not own the TDP for the Cable Assembly, Spec; and has unavailable TDP data for the Cable, Special Purpose. No award value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, and respondents bear all costs associated with preparing responses to this market survey.
