AI Contract Overview
DLA Land and Maritime, specifically the DLA Weapons Support office in Columbus, Ohio, is conducting a sources-sought market survey for the procurement of an electrical solenoid, identified by NSN 5945-01-605-5483 and part number V44778-329-2. The agency is exploring the potential award of an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to handle recurring demands, with a proposed structure consisting of a one to three-year base period and two to four option years. Valcor Engineering Corporation (CAGE 96487) is currently the only listed approved source. Due to the AMC 3R designation, the government does not own the technical data rights and has determined it is uneconomical to reverse engineer the part, meaning the item is typically acquired directly from the manufacturer. The primary objective of this effort is to identify additional capable manufacturers or distributors to ensure a competitive procurement process. Interested parties must submit their capabilities and delivery lead times to Contract Specialist Santiago Diaz Capurro by the response deadline of September 24, 2026. Companies seeking to become an approved source may apply through the DLA Weapons Support Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request (SAR) Program, which requires the submission of a technical package demonstrating that the product meets or exceeds the quality of the original equipment manufacturer. This current action is a market research effort and does not constitute a formal request for a quote or proposal.
