The Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime is conducting market research under solicitation CL26072005 to identify qualified manufacturers capable of producing NSN 2590-01-183-6816, SUPPORT, RETRACTABLE, in support of a potential indefinite quantity contract. This sources-sought notice is a total small business set-aside under FAR 19.5, meaning only small business concerns are eligible to respond, and offerors must self-certify their size status and indicate any applicable socioeconomic classifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, woman-owned, or economically disadvantaged status. Respondents are required to provide the manufacturer’s CAGE code, full business location including city and state or country, and point of contact details. Additionally, they must confirm whether they are the original manufacturer or a distributor, and if a distributor, provide the original manufacturer’s name and CAGE code. The item falls under NAICS 336212, indicating it is related to aircraft parts and equipment manufacturing, and must meet the commercial item definition under FAR 2.101(b), requiring submission of unredacted commercial sales history, catalogs, price lists, and technical drawings to substantiate commercial availability and pricing. Offerors must disclose any minimum order quantities, production limitations, and estimated delivery timelines. If the resulting contract exceeds $2 million, certified cost or pricing data will be required from both the prime contractor and all subcontractors at every tier, along with prior contract numbers and audit references. Delivery performance is anticipated to occur in Columbus, Ohio, and the government will evaluate responses based on supplier capability, commercial item evidence, and compliance with reporting requirements. The deadline for submissions is May 1, 2026, and all responses must be sent via email to Mr. Daniel Howser at Daniel.Howser@dla.mil, with no online portal or formalized invoice system defined at this stage. No packaging, inspection, acceptance, or payment details have been specified beyond the general expectation that the item will be subject to government evaluation for commerciality and suitability under DLA procedures. The procurement structure includes a proposed three-year base period with potential single-option years, and offerors are expected to confirm their ability to support this timeline.
