The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime has issued a Sources Sought Notice (SPE7M126R0004) seeking market information from potential suppliers for the procurement of approximately 15,000 units of a compressor repair kit identified by NSN 4310-01-535-4753, manufactured by Johnson Controls Navy Systems, LLC (P/N 377-15863-003). This notice is strictly for information gathering and is not a solicitation for proposals, quotations, or bids. Responses will assist the Government in acquisition planning and determining appropriate acquisition strategies, including whether to set aside the procurement for small businesses. Interested parties are invited to complete a detailed market survey addressing business capabilities, pricing, production capacity, distribution, and compliance with contractual requirements, with submissions due by January 23, 2026, via email to the contracting buyer. The contract’s scope includes the manufacture and delivery of complete repair kits, with strict packaging, preservation, marking, and palletization requirements governed by military standards MIL-STD-2073-1E (Appendix D for kit packaging), MIL-STD-129 for marking, and DLA Packaging RP001 for palletization. Preservation methods and packaging components follow specified codes, and shelf-life marking (Special Marking Code 32) is mandatory. Deliveries will be FOB Origin with Government inspection and acceptance at the destination warehouse located at DLA Distribution San Joaquin, Tracy, California. While no formal pricing or contract clauses have been established yet due to the early stage of procurement, the market research emphasizes understanding suppliers’ compliance with FAR Parts 12 and 15, commercial item status, electronic data interchange capabilities, and willingness to submit cost and pricing data if requested. The Government point of contact for this action is Anastasia Faber, who coordinates responses and acquisition planning from the DLA office in Columbus, Ohio. Overall, the notice reflects a preliminary phase aiming to assess supplier interest, capability, and capacity ahead of an anticipated solicitation.
