Sources Sought - Clamp Assembly Wing

The Department of the Army is conducting a Sources Sought Notice for a Clamp Assembly Wing (NSN 5340-01-545-2941) used to secure a JBPDS collector exhaust hose assembly. The market research survey seeks to gather information from potential manufacturers about their capabilities to produce 20 units with an optional 100% production quantity. First Article Testing is a mandatory requirement for this procurement, and interested vendors must submit their survey responses by April 9, 2025, at 2:30 PM EST to Evan Graham via email. The government is specifically requesting detailed information about manufacturing capabilities, including production lead times, monthly production rates, current pricing, and quality management systems. Respondents are expected to provide comprehensive details about their manufacturing expertise, business type, past government manufacturing experience, and production facilities.

No specific set-aside designation has been applied to this opportunity, and the pre-solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors. The Technical Data Package (distribution code D) will only be available if a solicitation is ultimately released, and the government emphasizes that this is a voluntary information-gathering process with no commitment to issue a contract. The initial procurement quantity is 20 units, with an additional option for 100% of the production quantity available within 365 days after award. The procurement falls under the NAICS category 325998 for Miscellaneous Chemical Product Manufacturing and PSC category 5340 for Commercial Hardware. While no specific award value is mentioned, the government is clearly seeking to assess market capabilities for manufacturing this specialized clamp assembly for military equipment.
