Bushing, Sleeve; NSN 3120-01-320-9956, PR 7010045202

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is conducting market research to identify capable vendors for the potential manufacture and supply of Bushing, Sleeve (NSN 3120-01-320-9956). This effort involves producing approximately 281 units, including procurement of component parts, inspection, testing, packaging, and shipping, with possible responsibilities extending to supply chain management, logistics planning, and addressing manufacturing shortages. The procurement will be classified under NAICS code 332991, which pertains to small arms ammunition manufacturing, although the specific contract details and technical requirements are not yet available. The government emphasizes that responses should demonstrate organizational capacity, technical expertise, and management capabilities, particularly in meeting tight schedules, cost control, performance tracking, and risk mitigation, potentially under a performance-based contract. Interested organizations are invited to submit their capability statements and relevant company information by February 6, 2025, via email to Christy Oakley. The process may result in set-aside opportunities for small businesses or a full and open competition, with multiple awards possible. This market survey does not constitute a solicitation, and no proposals are requested at this stage. The government will evaluate the responses to determine market capacity and procurement strategy, but will not provide feedback or conduct discussions regarding submissions. The effort aims to ensure the government can secure reliable sources capable of fulfilling the manufacturing and supply requirements for this specific component, supporting ongoing logistics and maintenance operations at the Richmond, Virginia facility.
