AI Contract Overview

The contract solicitation is for a 25–INSTALLATION KIT,VE with NSN 2590-017032614, managed by DLA Land and Maritime out of Columbus, Ohio. The acquisition is designated as AMC “1” and AMSC “G,” indicating the Government holds complete technical data rights without any restrictions on engineering, tooling, or manufacturing, making this item eligible for full and open competition. This status allows for competitive sourcing on the second or subsequent procurement, and vendors are encouraged to submit potential sources capable of manufacturing the item to the same or higher quality standards as the original equipment manufacturer. Responses must be submitted by the deadline of August 3, 2026, to Contract Specialist Emily Castle at emily.mcknight@dla.mil. Companies interested in becoming an approved source may apply through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires a comprehensive data package demonstrating product equivalence or superiority to the current approved item. The SAR process is the sole pathway for new vendors to qualify, and responsibility for providing all necessary technical documentation rests entirely with the applicant. Further details on the required format and submission procedures can be found on the DLA Land and Maritime website under the Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program. This solicitation is classified as a sources sought notice, not a formal request for proposal, and is intended to gather market information to support future competitive acquisition strategies.

NSN : 2590-017032614

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The AMC/AMSC for the NSN listed above is “1 G”

AMC “1” Suitable for competitive acquisition for the second or subsequent time.

AMSC "G" The Government has rights to the technical data, the data package is complete, and there are no technical data, engineering, tooling or manufacturing restrictions. (This is the only AMSC that implies that parts are candidates for full and open competition. Other AMSCs such as K, M, N, Q, and S may imply limited competition when two or more independent sources exist yet the technical data package is inadequate for full and open competition.) AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please review the NSN listed above and provide any sources that may be able to manufacture these items. The approved sources for this NSN are currently listed above. All information may be submitted directly to the Contract Specialist listed above. This information must be provided by the response date indicated above.

Should a company wish to be reviewed and qualified as an “Approved Source”, they may submit an application package through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. A SAR package contains all technical data needed to demonstrate that the prospective contractor can competently manufacture the product to the same level of quality or better than the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). The onus is on the contractor to document and demonstrate their product is equal to, or better, than the currently approved item which DLA Land and Maritime is procuring.

For further information, please reference the DLA Land Maritime web page shown below and click on the highlight: Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program for detailed explanation for the information and format necessary for a SAR and for the SAR approval process.
