COUPLING ASSEMBLY,SELF-SEALING 4730-010957013

This notice is a sources-sought market research initiative issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime through its Weapons Support office in Columbus, Ohio, aimed at identifying qualified businesses capable of supplying the self-sealing coupling assembly identified by NSN 4730-01-095-7013. The purpose is to gather industry input on commercial availability, manufacturing capabilities, and pricing data to inform future acquisition decisions under FAR Part 10, and it does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposal, or binding obligation. Respondents are required to complete and submit a market survey questionnaire via email to Benjamin Breidigan by the deadline of May 20, 2026, and must provide details regarding commercial item status, including sales history, part numbers such as 8DC1000, AE80110H, and SS65-108G-1, and compliance with the referenced Quality Assurance Plan QAP 82829 QAP010957013. Technical drawings and specifications are accessible exclusively through DLA’s cFolders system using solicitation CM26120004 or MR010957013, and all deliveries, if a future contract is awarded, will be made to DLA depots. The anticipated procurement pathway aligns with FAR Part 12 commercial item acquisition procedures and FAR subpart 13.5, with a potential award under an Indefinite Delivery Contract structure featuring a three-year base period and up to four optional one-year extensions. Offerors must affirm whether the item qualifies as a commercial item and provide documentation such as unredacted sales records, catalogs, and manufacturing details to validate this determination. While no pricing or contract values are specified in this notice, the government intends to evaluate submissions based on commerciality and price reasonableness, with a likely evaluation approach of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Responses must include company CAGE code, size status, and delivery timelines, and must confirm the ability to meet minimum and maximum order quantities and deliver to DLA facilities. No contract clauses, formal inspection criteria, packaging specifications, or appropriation data are included, as this is strictly a market research instrument intended to shape the parameters of a future acquisition.
