AI Contract Overview
The Defense Logistics Agency-Aberdeen, acting on behalf of the Army Integrated Logistics Supply Center’s Strategic Sourcing Directorate, is conducting a market survey to assess industry capability to manufacture the Fiber Optic Cleaning Kit, Part Number 0831-1000, designated by NSN 6070-01-734-1554, for use in supporting the Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical (SMART-T) system. This kit includes a miniature screwdriver with a 3/32-inch magnetic bit, needle-nose pliers, and 50 replacement alignment sleeves to enable maintenance personnel to clean and repair single fiber and TFOCA 2.5mm end-faces. The Government does not possess the technical data package for this part and is relying on existing physical samples or legacy procurement records to define specifications. This effort is a follow-on to a prior small-scale procurement in early 2026 for training purposes, and the current survey seeks to determine if responsible sources exist to support future production. Responses are required via a Contractor Questionnaire that demands detailed information on company capability, past performance, engineering qualifications, obsolescence management, test equipment experience, and procurement flexibility for spot buys or fixed quantity orders. All responses must include the company name, CAGE code, and a technical point of contact with email and phone number. The survey is strictly for planning and market research and does not constitute a solicitation for offers or a commitment to award a contract, nor will the Government reimburse any costs associated with response preparation. Responses are due by July 31, 2026, and must be submitted exclusively by email to the designated technical and small business contacts at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, which is also the designated place of performance. The Government will use the information gathered to evaluate competition potential, assess small business participation, and determine the optimal acquisition strategy for a future procurement action.
