AI Contract Overview
This contract, issued by DLA Land and Maritime under the Department of Defense, seeks sources for the provision of a vehicle maintenance kit associated with NSN 4910-01-598-96311. The solicitation, numbered 7007468226, opened on November 26, 2024, and responses are due by December 4, 2025. The contract is a sources-sought announcement, indicating that the agency is seeking information from potential vendors who could supply the specified item, though currently the only approved manufacturers are BAE Systems Land and Armaments LP (CAGE codes 80212 and 076M6). The item has been categorized under NAICS code 336992. According to the Acquisition Method Code (AMC) “3” and Acquisition Method Suffix Code (AMSC) “D”, this item can only be procured from the actual manufacturer or vendor because no adequate government data exists to compete the requirement. The government states it is neither technically nor economically feasible to reverse engineer or prepare an alternative specification; as a result, only certain firms such as Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical and Reliance Electric Company are able to supply the part at present. However, interested firms who believe they can manufacture the kit are encouraged to submit their qualifications through the DLA Land and Maritime Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program. Submissions must include all technical data necessary to prove their product is equivalent or superior to that currently procured. All inquiries and SAR packages should be directed to the contract specialist, Paul Kelley, at [email hidden].
