This pre-solicitation notice is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation at Hill Air Force Base to conduct market research and identify potential sources capable of supplying specific items with NSN 5840-01-598-5782 and part numbers 201027859-10, 201027859-30, and 654C3250-1. The agency aims to determine if commercial or nondevelopmental items meet their requirements and to enhance competition and small business access to procurement information. The estimated procurement involves eight units with an expected delivery time of approximately 489 days after receipt of order. The requirement is designated as a sole-source procurement, justified by the availability of the items from only a limited number of responsible sources, specifically Lockheed Martin and Southwest Research Institute, which interested firms are encouraged to contact for subcontracting opportunities. Interested parties are invited to submit qualification packages if they wish to become qualified sources, following the guidelines outlined in clause 52.209-1 and the attached Manufacturing Qualification Requirement. Although the solicitation is not expected to follow policies for commercial items under Part 12, interested firms may express their capability to meet the requirements within 15 days of this notice. The contract is not set aside for small businesses, and the government emphasizes that this is a market research effort, not a commitment to contract. Additional information and responses are to be directed to Scottina Malia via email, with the opportunity posted on SAM.gov under solicitation number SPRHA5-25-R-0484.
