AI Contract Overview

Show more

The contract pertains to NSN 2540-124172097, Chain, Assembly, Tire, and is governed by a non-competitive acquisition authority under AMC “3” and AMSC “D,” indicating that the item can only be procured from two approved sources—Rud Ketten Rieger and Freedom Defense Group, LLC—due to the unavailability of sufficient technical data, economic feasibility constraints for reverse engineering, and the absence of viable alternative suppliers or adequate specification language to enable competitive bidding. The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting a sources-sought market survey to identify additional qualified manufacturers, with responses required by May 7, 2026, to assess potential expansion of the approved vendor base. Any prospective supplier seeking approval must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package through DLA’s Alternate Offer/Source Approval Program, demonstrating technical equivalence or superiority to the original equipment manufacturer in quality, performance, and reliability. The item is expected to be procured as a commercial product under FAR Part 12, requiring vendors to provide commercial pricing, technical data sheets, and proof of prior non-government sales. Packaging must comply with ASTM D 3951, including mandatory RFID compliance for logistics tracking, while labeling requires the NSN and CAGE code. Delivery preferences favor F.O.B. Origin, and responses must include delivery timelines, minimum order quantities, inventory availability, and pricing tiers. The Contracting Officer is Sarah Harmon of DLA Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, with remittance processed through P.O. Box 3990, Columbus, OH 43218-3990. The procurement environment is structured around a Firm Fixed Price model, with no formal evaluation weights or scoring system disclosed, and the potential for a future quantity option clause to allow for expanded order volumes. No specific inspection locations or acceptance criteria beyond regulatory compliance are detailed, and no accounting data such as TAS or AAC is provided, reflecting the pre-solicitation nature of this notice aimed at gathering market intelligence for a future procurement action.
