AI Contract Overview
The Defense Logistics Agency is conducting market research through a sources sought notice for the rescue unit, emergency model MR-10097AF, identified by NSN 1660-01-495-3043, with an estimated requirement of 756 units. This effort, managed by DLA Aviation in Richmond, Virginia, is aimed at determining market capacity and evaluating potential sources for the new manufacture of this item, including all associated labor, materials, facilities, and equipment required for component procurement, manufacturing, inspection, testing, preservation, packaging, and shipping. While Essex Industries is currently the approved source, the government is exploring whether the requirement can be met through full and open competition or set aside for small businesses, with the possibility of multiple awards. Responses are voluntary, and submission does not trigger any financial obligation from the government; no drawings, technical orders, or qualification requirements are available at this stage. Interested parties must provide organizational details including size and type of ownership, along with tailored capability statements that demonstrate their ability to manage supply chains, mitigate diminishing manufacturing sources, handle long-lead parts, and execute performance-based service acquisition under tight schedules with effective cost containment and risk mitigation. The submission deadline is May 26, 2026, and all responses must be sent via email to [email hidden]; no telephone inquiries will be acknowledged. The NAICS code for this effort is 336411, and although packaging, labeling, and inspection are implied as part of the delivery process, specific MIL-STD references or acceptance locations are not detailed. The government will use the submissions to assess industry capability across financial, human, and technical resources, and evaluate project management effectiveness, but no evaluation criteria weights, award basis, or pricing information is established yet. No formal solicitation, contract clauses, line items, or delivery dates are present; this is strictly a pre-solicitation market research activity to inform future procurement decisions.
