Lock, Combination

This sources-sought notice from the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime seeks market research information to assess the commercial availability and capabilities of suppliers offering a combination lock identified by NSN 5340-01-626-0087 and governed by specification QPL-FF-L-2890-5 Revision 5 dated March 21, 2022. The notice is not a solicitation and does not obligate the government to award a contract or compensate respondents; it is intended solely to support acquisition planning under FAR Part 10 to determine whether the item qualifies as a commercial item under FAR Part 12 and to evaluate potential acquisition strategies including an indefinite delivery contract with a three-year base period and up to two optional one-year extensions. Interested businesses must complete a structured market survey and submit it via email to Karin Wilson at Karin.wilson@dla.mil by the response deadline of May 15, 2026, with technical drawings accessible through the cFolders portal using solicitation number CM26035012 or MR016260087. Responses must include the company’s CAGE code, size status as small or large business, and socioeconomic certifications if applicable, and should address commercial item determination, production capacity, pricing history, delivery timelines, and compliance with the referenced technical specification. Deliveries under any subsequent contract would be made to DLA depots, and all items must conform to military standards such as MIL-STD-129R for marking and labeling, MIL-STD-130 for unique item identification, and MIL-STD-2073-1 for packaging and preservation, though detailed instructions are embedded within the governing specification and not explicitly repeated. No formal evaluation factors, contract clauses, or pricing commitments are included, as the notice remains preparatory and non-binding.
