About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources for eight National Stock Numbers (NSNs) comprising military vehicle and weapons system components, including a tensioner cylinder cover, connecting links, anchors, towbars, adapters, gearshift assemblies, and howitzer control components. This is a Pre-solicitation Notice intended to identify potential contractors for a five-year long-term contract with potential option periods. Prospective offerors must demonstrate substantial experience with contracts of similar size, scope, and value, and they must possess current Enhanced Joint Certification Program (eJCP) certification due to the export-controlled nature of all eight NSNs under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR). All items are classified with an Acquisition Method Code of "1/G," indicating competitive acquisition and complete technical data packages with no engineering or manufacturing restrictions. Responses to this Sources Sought notice are due by March 2, 2026, and interested vendors should address their capacity to support the full five-year contract period.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation and represents a competitive opportunity for eligible contractors. The estimated annual demand quantities across the eight NSNs range from 6 units to 513 units per item, with total annual demand of approximately 1,047 units across all line items. No specific award value or budget range is provided in this Pre-solicitation Notice. One item (CLIN 0001) is identified as a Critical Application Item with special significance in military applications. The government has indicated that technical data is complete and available, and vendors should note that this is not an active request for quotes or proposals but rather a market research effort to gauge contractor interest and capability before formal solicitation.
