About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support is conducting a market research survey to identify potential suppliers for Barbed Tape, Concertina (NSN 5660-00-921-5516). Responses to this sources sought notice are due by May 16, 2026, and respondents should demonstrate manufacturing capability to produce items that are physically and functionally interchangeable with presently identified products while meeting all government performance requirements. Contractors must document their experience with the same or similar items, identify the applicable quality standards (government or industry) that will govern production, and provide past performance information including part numbers, NSNs, nomenclature, and dates of last manufacturing efforts. Evaluation will focus on the contractor's technical capability, quality assurance program, and demonstrated past performance with comparable products. This is a pre-solicitation notice only, not a binding solicitation; no Solicitation Number has been assigned, and responses cannot be accepted to form a contract at this time.
This opportunity carries no set-aside designation and no incumbent contractor is identified in the notice. The government estimates annual requirements of 300,000 rolls, with each roll measuring 50 feet, suggesting substantial procurement volume. The anticipated contract structure is an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) agreement with a base period and option years not to exceed five years total. Contractors must register with the DLA Vendor Shipment Module for shipment notifications and comply with various requirements including SAM registration, hazardous materials documentation, EDI capabilities, and warranty provisions. The notice specifies that markings on each roll shall include a corrosion-resistant metal tag with waterproof MIL STD 129 information per applicable standards, and all response costs are the responsibility of interested parties.
