The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Richmond is conducting market research to identify capable suppliers for the manufacture and supply of the Core Assembly, Fuel (Part Number 403391, NSN 2915-00-805-6497). This effort is aimed at determining the appropriate procurement method and does not constitute a solicitation or request for proposals. Interested parties with the ability to provide the required components, along with associated services such as inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping, are invited to submit capability statements. The potential contractor must demonstrate adequate resources in terms of labor, materials, facilities, and equipment, as well as the capacity to manage supply chain logistics, forecast production needs, and address long-lead time procurement challenges. The estimated quantity for this requirement is 10 units, and the contract, once awarded, will be a firm-fixed-price type. Responses are due by 3 PM EST on October 3, 2017, and must be submitted via email to the designated point of contact, Myra Blaszak. No telephone inquiries will be entertained and submissions are voluntary, with no financial obligation on the government’s part. Based on the feedback received, the procurement may be set aside for small businesses or opened to full and open competition, potentially resulting in multiple awards. Technical orders and qualification requirements are not available at this time, and unit pricing will be determined upon contract award. This sources sought announcement is strictly informational and designed to gauge market capability rather than solicit binding offers.
