This contract pertains to the procurement of a mounting bracket (NSN 5340-013443323) for the Department of Defense, specifically managed by DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio. The solicitation, posted on October 3, 2025, seeks responses by October 10, 2025, from potential sources capable of manufacturing the item. The current approved sources for this NSN are RTX Corporation and Lewis Machine, LLC, both of which hold the necessary engineering and manufacturing data rights to ensure the part's quality and compliance. The contract's acquisition method is suitable for competitive bidding, with an AMC of "1," indicating that the item can be acquired competitively for subsequent procurements. The part is designated with an AMSC of "C," meaning it requires engineering source approval to maintain quality, and the approved sources retain critical data and manufacturing knowledge that are not readily available to the government. Interested companies are encouraged to review the existing approved sources and submit technical data or qualification requests through the DLA's Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) program. This process involves demonstrating the capability to produce the part at the same or higher quality level as the OEM, with detailed procedures outlined on the DLA Land and Maritime website. The contract emphasizes the importance of maintaining high standards for the part's quality and encourages potential suppliers to participate in the market survey to establish themselves as qualified sources. All submissions and inquiries should be directed to the designated Contract Specialist, Emily McKnight, via email, with relevant information accessible through the provided SAM.gov link.

AMSC "C"   This part requires engineering source approval by the design control activity in order to maintain the quality of the part.  Existing unique design capability, engineering skills, and manufacturing knowledge by the qualified source(s) require acquisition of the part from the approved source(s).  The approved source(s) retain data rights, manufacturing knowledge, or technical data that are not economically available to the Government, and the data or knowledge is essential to maintaining the quality of the part.  An alternate source must qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, as approved by the cognizant Government engineering activity.  The qualification procedures must be approved by the Government engineering activity having jurisdiction over the part in the intended application.  If one source is approved, AMCs 3, 4, or 5 are valid.  If at least two sources are approved or if data is adequate for an alternate source to qualify in accordance with the design control activity's procedures, AMCs 1 or 2 are valid.
