Gun Charger

The Government is seeking industry input for the Gun Charger, identified by NSN 1005-01-568-5505 and part number 090ALT01-02, which is a component of the XM149 Armament Subsystem used in helicopter applications. The item is currently sourced from Safran / Zodiac Aerosystems with CAGE code F0358, but the Government does not possess the technical data package, detailed drawings, or performance specifications, making this a market research effort rather than a developmental program. The solicitation, issued as a Sources Sought Notice under SPRDL1-26-R-0123 by DLA Land Warren in Warren, Michigan, requests responses from potential suppliers who may have existing capability to produce the part. A total of 18 units are requested under the base requirement with an option for an additional 18 units, though no pricing, contract value, or delivery schedule is provided since this is a pre-solicitation inquiry. Responses are due no later than close of business on July 9, 2026, with no specified format, submission portal, or media requirement outlined. The place of performance is listed as Warren, MI, and while general defense packaging and labeling standards may apply, specific requirements under MIL-STDs are not cited due to the absence of technical documentation. No contract clauses, evaluation factors, inspection criteria, payment details, or representations are included, as this notice serves only to identify viable sources; any future award would require a separate solicitation with formal terms and conditions.
