The U.S. Department of Defense, through the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime in Columbus, Ohio, is seeking potential suppliers for NSN 5340-01-217-5068, a padlock, under an Indefinite Delivery Contract structure with a three-year base period and up to four one-year option periods. Currently, only two approved sources—Sargent & Greenleaf Inc. (CAGE 53085, Part Number 951-001) and Pacific Lock Company (CAGE 1E3D8, Part Number PL951D4)—are authorized to supply this item due to its AMC/AMSC “1C” designation, which mandates engineering source approval to ensure quality and integrity. This classification requires that any alternate supplier must demonstrate through the DLA Weapons Support Source Approval Request (SAR) program that their product matches or exceeds the original equipment manufacturer’s technical specifications, manufacturing capabilities, and design data, which remain proprietary and unavailable to the government. The solicitation, issued as a sources-sought notice with number CM26119007, is open for responses until May 15, 2026, and is being evaluated under FAR Part 12 commercial item procedures, meaning cost or pricing data may not be required if the item qualifies as commercial. Interested parties must submit a completed market survey questionnaire, including company information, commercial item documentation, delivery capabilities, and any technical data proving equivalence, with all proprietary materials clearly marked. The government retains exclusive authority to approve new sources, and submissions must be directed to Contract Specialist Santiago Diaz Capurro at the specified email and mailing address. No specific packaging, inspection criteria, delivery terms, or contract value estimates are provided, as this is a market research action intended to assess industry capacity and willingness to qualify as an alternate supplier.
