Solicitation # SPE4A726R0755_SourceSought
The Department of Defense, through DLA Aviation, is conducting market research to identify qualified suppliers capable of manufacturing the bypass indicator identified by NSN 2915-01-313-4615 and part number TD221MF0DCY5. This effort is not a solicitation and no contract award will result from this request. The government seeks capability statements from organizations that can perform the full scope of new manufacture including component procurement, inspection, testing, packaging, shipping, supply chain management, and mitigation of material shortages. The NAICS code 336412 applies, and the requirement spans a five-year base period with no options. Currently, Pall Aeropower Corp is the approved source, and any other vendor must submit a Source Approval Request to be considered. Responses must include organizational details, capability documentation, and information on subcontracting or teaming arrangements, with no financial liability assumed by the government for submission costs. All submissions are due by August 10, 2026, and must be emailed to TATJANA.KLEMMER@DLA.MIL. The government will use responses to determine whether to set aside the eventual contract for small businesses or pursue full and open competition, potentially making multiple awards. The DLA does not hold complete technical data on the part, further emphasizing the importer for suppliers to demonstrate technical and operational competency. No telephone inquiries will be accepted, and no feedback or evaluations will be provided on submissions. Interested parties should note that the place of performance is undetermined and final unit pricing will be established at contract award time. Questions regarding this market research should be directed to TATJANA.VAUGHAN@DLA.MIL.
