Sources Sought - Vial, Level (Potted)

The Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) is conducting a market survey to assess industry capabilities for producing two specific military items: a Hand Control Unity (NSN 1095-01-689-2300) and a Level, Vial (Potted) (NSN 1240-01-057-0112). The primary objective is to identify potential contractors who can manufacture these specialized components, with a focus on understanding their production capabilities, lead times, and manufacturing readiness. Interested vendors must submit a completed Sources Sought Questionnaire by May 22, 2025, at 4 PM EST via email to Ashley Young, demonstrating their technical expertise and ability to meet military specifications. Key evaluation criteria will include manufacturing capability, production rates, current pricing, quality management systems, and commercial availability of the items. Respondents must possess or be pursuing a DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement to access the technical data package, which is limited to Department of Defense and DoD contractors.

The market survey is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside, targeting businesses within NAICS code 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing). Eligible business classifications include 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and other small business types. While no specific award value or budget range is disclosed, the opportunity represents a potential future solicitation for precision military equipment manufacturing. The Technical Data Package (TDP) for these items is not fully complete, indicating that the government is seeking innovative and adaptable manufacturing partners. Vendors will need to demonstrate their ability to potentially produce multiple units per month, with precise production capabilities to be determined through the market survey responses. This pre-solicitation notice emphasizes that the market research is voluntary and does not guarantee a subsequent solicitation or contract award.
