The solicitation is designated under NAICS code 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and PSC code 2540 (Vehicular Furniture and Accessories). This pre-solicitation notice is open to small businesses that can demonstrate manufacturing capability equal to or exceeding the quality standards of the current approved source, Defense Products and Services Group (CAGE 73T77, P/N DP007). Potential suppliers must provide comprehensive supply chain information, including manufacturing location, inventory status, delivery capabilities, and hazmat compliance documentation. Suppliers claiming commercial item status must submit evidence of commercial sales history, pricing documentation, and technical specifications. The response deadline for this market survey is February 4, 2026, and all submissions should be directed to Contract Specialist Logan McLaughlin at Logan.McLaughlin@dla.mil.
This opportunity is restricted to small businesses as a total small business set-aside.

Respondents must indicate specific delivery timelines, pricing for the base and optional quantities, and any quantity or price breaks available. The government has indicated a preference for firm fixed-price offerings with F.O.B. Origin terms and compliance with STD-COM Package I/A/W ASTM D 3951 packaging standards. Companies interested in becoming an approved source must submit a comprehensive SAR package demonstrating product equivalency or superiority to the incumbent manufacturer.
