Sources Sought for RR-203/AL Chaff 5 Year IDIQ

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Weapon Systems Support at Mechanicsburg is seeking eligible contractors to manufacture RR-203/AL Chaff Cartridges (NSN 5865-01-701-0547-YWAT, Drawing 4314AS100) for use in military weapon systems, ships, or aircraft. This pre-solicitation notice represents the Government's intent to conduct a full and open competition for the procurement of these electronic countermeasures items. Contractors interested in participating must submit capability statements by November 26, 2025, to express their interest and demonstrate their manufacturing capability. The Government does not currently possess the data necessary to manufacture these items internally, making contractor participation essential. While this notice is not a formal request for proposals, all capability statements received by the closing date will be evaluated, and the Government reserves the sole discretion to determine whether to proceed with formal competition based on responses received.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation, meaning it remains open to all responsible sources meeting the requirements. No current contractor or incumbent information has been identified in this notice. The pre-solicitation does not specify award values, budget ranges, or detailed quantity requirements at this stage, as this is an early-stage market research notice intended to gauge contractor interest and capability. This will be structured as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a five-year term, allowing for flexible ordering arrangements once the contract is awarded. Contractors classified under NAICS 325998 (All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation Manufacturing) or with relevant electronic countermeasures manufacturing experience are encouraged to participate in this opportunity.
