This contract, issued by DLA Land and Maritime, seeks sources for the manufacturing or supply of a component identified as "LEVER, LOCK-RELEASE" with NSN 5340-01-340-2004. The solicitation is a sources-sought notice, meaning the agency is seeking information from companies interested in becoming approved suppliers for this item. The only currently approved source is Breeze Eastern LLC, using part number 15003-1. The contract specialist responsible for communications is Logan McLaughlin, whose contact information is provided. The acquisition method code (AMC) is "3," indicating the item is typically acquired directly from the actual manufacturer after the initial purchase. The acquisition method suffix code (AMSC) is "D," meaning required data to compete the part is unavailable or uneconomical to obtain, so only previously approved manufacturers are typically considered. However, the agency is inviting other potential vendors to submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) to qualify as an approved supplier. Interested companies must submit the necessary technical documentation to show they can produce the item to the same or higher standard as the original manufacturer. Instructions for preparing a SAR and additional guidance are available on the DLA Land and Maritime website. The response deadline for this opportunity is October 18, 2025, and all interested firms must provide responses directly to the listed contract specialist.
