About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Weapons Support (Columbus) is conducting market research to identify qualified suppliers for pressure bellows under National Stock Number (NSN) 3010005185974. This is a pre-solicitation notice for market research purposes only and is not a formal request for quotes or proposals at this time. The procurement requires that suppliers demonstrate engineering source approval and qualify according to the design control activity's established procedures, as the approved sources retain unique design capabilities, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge essential to maintaining part quality. Prospective contractors interested in becoming approved sources must submit an application package through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires comprehensive technical data demonstrating manufacturing competency at or above the current quality standards. The government has established February 11, 2026 as the deadline for completing and returning the market survey questionnaire. Evaluation will consider factors including business size classification, manufacturing capabilities, commercial viability, inventory availability, delivery timelines, pricing structure, FAR compliance (either Part 12 for commercial items or Part 15 for negotiated procurements), hazardous material content, and willingness to pursue a firm fixed price contract.
No set-aside designations apply to this procurement. Four approved sources currently supply this item: Senior Operations LLC (CAGE 07649, PN 36647), Kinemotive Corporation (CAGE 25414, PN B90073-3), Honeywell International Inc (CAGE 59364, PN 3161850-4), and Service & Sales Inc (CAGE 59915, PN 3161850-3). The estimated procurement quantity is 122 units for this one-time buy, with the applicable NAICS code 333612 (Speed Changer, Industrial High-Speed Drive, and Gear Manufacturing) indicating a business size threshold of 750 employees. While no specific contract value or budget range is disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the government intends to synopsize the formal solicitation separately at a later date. Interested vendors should note that the contract may include quantity options and should prepare pricing structures that reflect potential volume discounts or quantity-based pricing breaks.
