The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is conducting market research through a Sources Sought Notice to identify companies capable of manufacturing or legitimately sourcing a specific item: PARTS KIT, FASTENER, with NSN 1560-017254989 and Part-Number 527-13392-4, designated under Weapon System Designator Code 05F. This notice is strictly for information gathering and is not a solicitation or an offer request; therefore, no government commitment or funding is implied. Interested parties who believe they can produce or supply this item are invited to respond by June 9, 2026. The primary point of contact for this effort is Leslea Newlon, a Contracting Specialist at DLA Aviation. Companies desiring qualification as an “Approved Source” for this item must submit a Source Approval Request (SAR) package following the instructions provided in the referenced Source Approval Handbook (JACG SAM HB). The SAR must contain technical data proving the capability to manufacture the item to specifications equal to or exceeding the current approved standards.

The submission process has transitioned to an electronic format, discontinuing physical CD submissions, and the review period for SARs can exceed 180 days. This proactive market research supports DLA Aviation in identifying qualified suppliers to potentially fulfill future procurement requirements under NAICS code 336413.
