DLA Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify potential suppliers for an Electron Tube with NSN 5960-00-230-8366 and part number 8660, currently sourced only from Communication & Power Industries under approved specifications MIL-PRF-1N(1) SUP 1 and MIL-PRF-1/1648O(1). This is not a solicitation or request for quotes; no contract is being issued at this time. The goal is to find additional qualified manufacturers or distributors capable of meeting the technical requirements and supplying the item to the Qualified Parts List standard. A Firm Fixed Price contract for 897 units is anticipated, with price breaks requested for quantities between 200 and 1,300 units, and delivery will be FOB Origin with inspection and acceptance taking place at destination. Interested parties must submit a letter of interest including CAGE code, product line, quality certifications, company size, customer base, and point of contact information to the contracting officer by August 10, 2026. Any proposed alternate source must provide a complete technical data package since the government lacks sufficient rights or documentation to procure this item independently. Participation in this market research is voluntary, at the respondent’s expense, and does not guarantee future solicitation or reimbursement.
