The contract seeks sources capable of manufacturing a fixed plastic dielectric capacitor, part number 5859116-1, as specified by the source-controlled drawing number 53711 revision V dated June 25, 2014. The solicitation identifies two currently approved manufacturers: EMS Development Corporation and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical. All items must strictly conform to the requirements outlined in the cited drawing, emphasizing that only approved sources listed on the drawing are currently authorized to supply this part. However, potential suppliers interested in qualifying for future acquisitions are encouraged to contact the designated design activity for source approval and submit the necessary technical data demonstrating their capability to meet or exceed the OEM standards. This sources sought notice, managed by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio, invites companies to provide information on their ability to produce the capacitor by the response deadline of June 8, 2026. The acquisition falls under NAICS code 334416, with an AMC/AMSC code of “1/B,” indicating the item is suitable for competitive acquisition but must be procured from approved manufacturing sources due to limited availability of government-held technical data or rights. Prospective contractors must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through the DLA Weapons Support program to qualify as approved sources. All communications and submissions related to this contract should be directed to the primary contract specialist, Brandon Preece.
