Vehicle Components, drawing available

The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research for vehicle components including a transmission fluid cooler, intake filter element, engine cooling radiator, and exhaust pipe, each identified by specific National Stock Numbers (NSNs). The agency seeks to identify potential manufacturers or sources capable of producing these components for a potential Long-Term Contract (LTC) or Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC). Vendors must review technical drawings available in cFolders under NSN designations or the title "MR010985124" and complete a comprehensive market research questionnaire covering company details, manufacturing capabilities, pricing structures, and delivery timelines. The evaluation will focus on suppliers' capacity to manufacture these items, their willingness to provide cost data for contracts potentially exceeding $2 million, and their ability to support commercial item requirements. All responses must be submitted directly to Contract Specialist Michael J. Allen at Michael.2.allen@dla.mil by September 5, 2025, with the market research questionnaire requiring completion within 5 business days of receipt.

This opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designations and no incumbent contractors are identified in the documentation. While specific contract values are not disclosed, the questionnaire references potential contracts exceeding $2 million and indicates DLA's interest in cost or pricing data for such thresholds. The agency is exploring a three-year base contract structure with option years and seeks information about quantity price breaks from potential suppliers. Vendors may propose alternate NSNs if they can demonstrate functional equivalence to the specified items and must be prepared to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package for such alternatives. The market research aims to gather intelligence on supplier capabilities, delivery estimates, and maximum production quantities to inform DLA's acquisition strategy for these critical vehicle components.
