Seal, Nonmetallic SP 5330-01-560-4055

This is a sources sought notice issued by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime under solicitation number CL25344005 for market research purposes pursuant to FAR Part 10. The notice seeks to identify commercial sources capable of manufacturing the nonmetallic seal with NSN 5330-01-560-4055, currently approved from AMZ Alabama Inc. with part number 6432706-01M1 and CAGE code 076M6. Responses must be submitted via email to Tracy Assenheimer by the deadline of May 18, 2026, and are intended to assess industry capacity, commercial availability, pricing, and supply chain structure to inform potential future contract action. The inspection and acceptance of any resulting deliveries will occur at DLA depots, with no specific packaging, marking, or technical specifications provided beyond the item’s basic description. The notice is not a solicitation and does not include evaluation factors, contract clauses, pricing, or award criteria; instead, it gathers foundational data through a market research questionnaire that asks respondents to indicate whether they are manufacturers or distributors, their business size status, socioeconomic certifications, past submission of certified cost or pricing data, and commercial item status per FAR 2.101(b). All responses are to be submitted electronically in formats such as .pdf, .docx, or .xlsx, and must include CAGE code and other identifying information. The contracting office is located in Columbus, Ohio, with payment and correspondence directed to DLA Weapons Support, and delivery is required to DLA depots nationwide. While a potential long-term contract with a three-year base period and option years is contemplated, no contract value is stated, and no formal award is imminent at this stage. The focus remains solely on gathering sufficient market intelligence to determine whether a competitive, commercial-based acquisition path is feasible.
