AI Contract Overview
The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is seeking qualified sources to supply a Battery Set identified by NSN 6140-01-585-4636, currently manufactured by ELECT-A-VAN SERVICE, L.L.C. (CAGE 0ZKS4) with part number 0N694814-1. No technical drawings or specifications are available for this item, so potential suppliers must demonstrate through the Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) program that their product meets or exceeds the performance, quality, and functional equivalence of the existing approved source. Interested parties are required to complete and submit a Market Research Spreadsheet and Market Survey by the response deadline of June 27, 2026, to John Horn at john.c.horn@dla.mil, with additional submissions to Aric Allen at aric.allen@dla.mil. The solicitation is a sources-sought notice under NAICS code 335910 and aims to identify alternate sources for a potential indefinite-quantity contract. All offerors must provide comprehensive technical documentation, including commercial sales history, pricing data, and manufacturing capability details, to qualify under FAR 2.101(b) as a commercial item. The SAR process mandates proof of technical parity or superiority over the OEM and requires submission of unredacted invoices, catalogs, and other commercial evidence. While no formal evaluation factors, weights, or contract clauses have been defined at this stage, future award may be based on lowest price technically acceptable or trade-off methodology, contingent upon source approval. The place of performance is Columbus, Ohio, and contractors must also indicate their business size status, whether they are manufacturers or distributors, and whether they meet any socioeconomic criteria. There are no specified packaging, inspection, or delivery terms provided yet, but contractors should anticipate potential FOB requirements, minimum order quantities, and compliance with DLA’s SAR program guidelines accessible via their official website. Certification of pricing data will be required for awards exceeding $2.5 million.
