Sources Sougnt - 1 NSN FILTEREINHEIT

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking sources capable of manufacturing a hazard-detecting filter unit identified by National Stock Number (NSN) 6665-12-389-1630. This pre-solicitation notice invites interested parties to submit information about manufacturers who can produce this component, including their location and points of contact. The primary objective is to identify qualified suppliers who can manufacture the item to the same quality standards or better than the current Original Equipment Manufacturer. Interested companies may pursue formal qualification as an "Approved Source" through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires submission of comprehensive technical documentation demonstrating manufacturing capability and product equivalence. The deadline for submitting source information is March 5, 2026, with all submissions directed to Stephanie Frederick at Stephanie.Frederick@dla.mil or by phone at 614-693-0613.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and does not specify a particular incumbent contractor or award value. The notice does not indicate the quantity of units required or establish a specific contract timeline. Rather than a traditional competitive solicitation, this pre-solicitation serves as a sources-sought announcement designed to identify potential manufacturers and gather market intelligence on available alternatives. Companies interested in becoming approved sources should review the detailed requirements and SAR application procedures available on the DLA Land and Maritime website, as the burden of proof rests with prospective contractors to document and demonstrate that their products meet or exceed the specifications of the currently approved item.
