The Defense Logistics Agency is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of manufacturing the pin-rivet collar (NSN 5320-009689212) for the B-52 Stratofortress aircraft. The requirement involves producing a large quantity of over one million units, with specific quantities allocated across multiple contract line items. The approved supplier is SPS Technologies, LLC, and potential vendors must demonstrate their capacity to supply, inspect, test, package, and ship these components, including managing supply chain logistics and addressing long-lead procurement issues. The procurement process may be set aside for small businesses or awarded through full and open competition, with multiple awards possible. Interested organizations are invited to submit capability statements and relevant organizational information by May 21, 2025, to be considered for qualification as an approved source. Organizations seeking approval must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) demonstrating their ability to manufacture the item to the required quality standards. This involves providing detailed technical data and documentation to prove their capability to produce the collar-rivet to or above the quality of the current approved item. The process is managed through the DoDSafe system, and submissions should be directed via email to the specified DLA contacts. This market research does not constitute a solicitation, and no proposals are being requested at this stage; instead, it aims to assess industry capacity and readiness to fulfill this significant manufacturing requirement for the military aircraft component.
