AI Contract Overview

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research through a sources-sought notice for a Quick Disconnect Coupling Assembly with NSN 4730-01-296-5759, currently sourced exclusively from Eaton Aeroquip LLC, CAGE 00624, part number AE85187M. The acquisition is governed by an AMC/AMSC code of 3B, indicating a single-source, non-competitive procurement due to the absence of Government-held technical data, manufacturing knowledge, or data rights necessary to qualify alternative suppliers or perform qualification testing of competing parts. This limitation restricts acquisition to the approved manufacturer unless a qualified alternate source can demonstrate equivalence or superiority through a formal Source Approval Request (SAR) package submitted via DLA Weapons Support’s Alternate Offer Program. The intent is to evaluate commercial availability and potential alternate sources under FAR Part 12, with the goal of establishing an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with a three-year base period and optional extensions. Suppliers are required to respond to a structured market survey questionnaire by May 12, 2026, providing detailed information on delivery capabilities, minimum order quantities, commercial sales history, and technical data packages that prove product equivalence to the original equipment manufacturer. All responses must be submitted to Contract Specialist Caitlin Ferry via email or mail, and must include company name, CAGE code, and any supporting documentation such as unredacted sales records, drawings, or certification of commercial item status. The place of performance is designated as Columbus, Ohio, with contractual administration handled by DLA Weapons Support, and payment remittances directed to PO Box 3990, Columbus, OH 43218-3990. No specific packaging, preservation, inspection, or acceptance procedures are detailed in the notice, but compliance with standard DoD practices including MIL-STD-129, MIL-STD-2073, and MIL-STD-130 is implied. While no formal evaluation factors or contract value estimates are provided, the Government seeks information to potentially transition from a sole-source to a competitive acquisition if qualified alternate sources emerge. There are no security clearance requirements, key personnel clauses, or organizational conflict of interest provisions specified, and submissions must be accompanied by appropriate proprietary markings to protect sensitive commercial data.
