AI Contract Overview

The Defense Logistics Agency, through DLA Troop Support, is conducting market research to identify capable vendors for a range of specialized shelter and storage systems, including the Shelter Mobile System, Utility Area Shelter System, Modular Storage and Transport, and associated covers and modification kits, all uniquely tied to Sharkcage, Inc. as the sole source supplier with cage code 54TC1. This notice is purely for planning and does not constitute a solicitation or commitment; responses are voluntary and will not be compensated. If a procurement proceeds, it may take the form of a long-term contract not to exceed five years, with any formal solicitation to be posted exclusively on SAM.gov’s Contract Opportunities page, making it the offeror’s responsibility to monitor for updates. Interested contractors must submit a comprehensive technical data package, including the manufacturer’s original proprietary drawings for engineering review by the Engineering Support Activity, as the government does not hold these documents. All submissions must be directed to Avril Dickerson of DLA Troop Support’s Directorate of Construction and Equipment, with inquiries required before September 5, 2026. The NAICS code for this effort is 332439, and while the posting date is August 6, 2026, the response deadline listed previously in the data is inconsistent with the notice’s intent and likely reflects an error, as no formal response is required for this sources sought notice.
