AI Contract Overview
The Department of Defense's DLA Land & Maritime is conducting market research for a one-time procurement of a specific parts kit, identified by the NSN 3010016671438 and designated as a Parts Kit, Electro. The estimated requirement is approximately 269,000 units, with the only currently approved source being Beaver Aerospace & Defense Inc., which supplies part number J16116-700. The solicitation for this item will be issued separately at a later date, and this notice does not request quotes or proposals. The data necessary for a competitive acquisition is unavailable or uneconomical to obtain, which limits the procurement to the approved source unless other qualified sources are approved through the DLA's Alternate Offer/Source Approval Request program. Interested companies can submit a source qualification package demonstrating their ability to produce the item to the same or higher quality standards. The deadline for responses to this market survey is October 13, 2025, and submissions should be directed to Jacob McGee via email. Additional details about the source approval process and submission requirements are available on the DLA Land and Maritime website.
