About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify potential suppliers for two assembly outsert components: Clear Assembly Outsert (NSN 4240-01-529-8327, Part Number 71014/12) and Laser Assembly Outsert (NSN 4240-01-528-9288, Part Number 71014/11). These safety and rescue equipment components fall under NAICS code 326199 (All Other Plastics Product Manufacturing). The agency is seeking interested contractors to demonstrate manufacturing capabilities, production capacity, and commercial viability for these items, with particular emphasis on domestic sourcing capabilities and long-term contract feasibility. Respondents must submit a completed Market Survey providing detailed information on production lead times, delivery timelines, minimum and maximum order quantities, unit pricing, and willingness to participate in a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract. The deadline for submission is January 27, 2026, at 3:00 PM EDT, with responses directed to Andrew C. Rose at Andrew.c.rose@dla.mil.
This opportunity does not carry any set-aside designations and is currently sole-sourced to Avon Protection Systems Incorporated (CAGE 1LEW5), the incumbent contractor. The annual estimated quantities are 60,000 units for the Clear Assembly Outsert and 499 units for the Laser Assembly Outsert, with no specific budget range disclosed in the notice. Both items require First Article Testing and Production Lot Testing prior to award. The resulting contract, if issued following this market research phase, would be structured as a five-year IDIQ agreement with pricing mechanisms that may include Economic Price Adjustment provisions. This Sources Sought Notice is issued for planning and information purposes only and does not constitute a binding solicitation, with submission of market survey responses being entirely voluntary and at no cost to the government.
