Responses can be submitted within 45 days of the notice posting, or 30 days if the award is through an existing Basic Ordering Agreement. Any award will be contingent upon meeting the qualification requirements at the time of contract award, consistent with FAR clause 52.209-1.

AI Contract Overview

This contract seeks sources for the manufacture of a fluid filter element identified by NSN 4330-01-458-6214, currently approved only from Lawrence Factor, Inc. (CAGE X53248, P/N 0R763). The Acquisition Method Code (AMC) assigned is "3," indicating that procurement is to be made directly from the original manufacturer for second or subsequent acquisitions, while the Acquisition Method Supplemental Code (AMSC) is "D," reflecting that competitive acquisition is not feasible due to the unavailability or economic impracticality of obtaining data necessary to describe the product for competitive solicitation. Interested manufacturers are invited to submit potential source information for evaluation by the Department of Defense's Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime office in Columbus, Ohio, by May 15, 2026. Companies interested in becoming approved sources may apply through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires submitting detailed technical data proving that their product meets or exceeds the quality of the current original equipment manufacturer. The contract specialist, Kyle Blazek, is the primary point of contact, supported by Karin Wilson, to whom all queries and submissions should be directed. Further guidance on the SAR process and technical requirements is available via the DLA Weapons Support website. This solicitation is classified under NAICS code 333998, covering fluid filter element manufacturing, and represents a sources-sought notice rather than a direct procurement solicitation.
